1:51Now PlayingInvestigators with the 17th Judicial District Attorney's Office found "significant problems" in the Federal Heights Police Department after being asked to review a backlog of felony cases being handled by the department, the office said Monday.
The investigation began in April and included a review of cases from 2020, 2021 and 2022. The investigators didn't look at every case from that time period but focused on "persons crimes" cases, District Attorney Brian Mason said in an emailed letter Oct. 31 to Federal Heights Interim Chief of Police Robert Grado.
"In short, my team noted very serious failures in the investigation of felony cases in Federal Heights by the Federal Heights Police Department," Mason wrote in the letter. "Alarmingly, this included lack of investigation into serious felony crimes and lack of follow-up with victims of serious crimes, including sexual assaults, sexual assaults on children and other violent crimes."
