GEORGETOWN, Colo. — Two more officers charged in the death of Christian Glass have resigned.
Randy Williams and Tim Collins, each charged with failing to step in and stop the 2022 officer shooting death of Glass, voluntarily stepped down from the Georgetown Police Department this month. Their exits left the force with only one sworn officer.
Williams resigned Feb. 5 as Georgetown marshal after 22 years with the force.
Collins, who was one of the first on scene when Glass called 911 during a mental health crisis, resigned from the Georgetown Police force a week later.
"They signed a non-disclosure agreement and they resigned and that’s all the board accepted, was a letter of resignation," said the Georgetown town administrator, Rick Keuroglian. "It was not in lieu of anything, it was just a resignation."
Collins was with the Clear Creek County Sheriff's Office when Glass was killed, and resigned about a month later citing personal reasons. The Georgetown Police Department then hired Collins amid scrutiny over Glass' death and promoted him.
Georgetown is working on a plan to move forward.
"Sergeant [John] Gaskins has been appointed as acting marshal, and we have hired a police administrative assistant in order to help do office work so we can keep the state mandates up and John can take calls," Keuroglian said.
A recruiting company will help Georgetown fill the open marshal position, as well as the open officer position.
"We have also been approved to work with KRW recruiters to help us find a police chief, a marshal, so that’s the next step, to work with this group and rebuild our police department," Keuroglian said. "We have currently an administrative assistant, and an acting marshal, so two more will be full staff. We are going to start immediately, so we are hoping within three to six months we will have a marshal."
The town administrator said they still plan to remain present in the community.
"We always have a presence, even though we have one officer, we have presence," Keuroglian said. "We are doing the best we can, we have been down this road before and we will get through this again."
