Colorado officer in Flock package theft controversy was ‘rude,’ ‘dismissive,’ chief says

Sgt. Jamie Milliman, the metro-area police officer who used Flock Safety surveillance cameras to falsely accuse a Denver woman of package theft, faced an official reprimand for “unprofessional demeanor.”

The town of Columbine Valley acknowledged earlier this week that Milliman would face discipline. On Wednesday, it released the letter of reprimand in response to public records requests.

“Your demeanor during this incident was observed to be unprofessional and inconsistent with the standards expected of a sworn officer of this department,” Chief Bret Cottrell wrote to Milliman in a Nov. 11 letter.

Milliman’s reprimand will be placed in his personnel file. He will have to complete additional training in community relations, de-escalation techniques, and interview and interrogation skills
