Officer who used Flock cameras to falsely accuse Denver woman of theft will face unspecified disciplinary action

A Columbine Valley police officer who used surveillance from AI-powered license plate readers to wrongly accuse a Denver woman of stealing a $25 package will be disciplined, town officials said.

Since Sgt. Jamie Milliman’s false accusation, which sparked outrage over the department’s use of Flock cameras, the town said in a statement that it will work “to ensure that our citizens continue to have faith in our officers and department” and that the officer will receive “appropriate disciplinary action.” But the town did not reveal what discipline the officer faces and did not return emails or a voicemail from The Colorado Sun. 

“We believe in maintaining transparency and will continue to protect and serve the communities of Columbine Valley and Bow Mar with professionalism and integrity,” Columbine Valley town administrator J.D. McCrumb said in a statement issued Tuesday. 

Public records requests from The Sun for documents detailing the disciplinary action have not been fulfilled. Emails and phone calls to Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office records department, which handles Columbine Valley Police Department’s records requests, were also not returned. 

When Milliman arrived on Chrisanna Elser’s doorstep in late September, with a summons in hand, he told Elser he had “no doubt” after footage from the Flock camera in the neighboring town of Bow Mar, along with doorbell camera footage, captured her stealing a package from a porch.

All this thug had to do was comply and he could have gotten his due process unscathed.
