“Evans Police Chief Rick Brandt, who headed up the initial investigation into Ashley Fallis’ death, asked Fort Collins police to head up the most recent investigation.
Loveland police conducted an independent investigation into allegations that Evans Police Officer Michael Yates impeded the investigation into Ashley Fallis’ death. They concluded in August that there was no probable cause to charge Yates with a crime.
Chief Brandt told Crimesider Tuesday that he had not been informed of details surrounding the indictment and arrest of Tom Fallis. He said that he is moving forward with an internal review of Officer Yates, as is protocol. Yates is currently serving on the force as a community resource officer.”

They are called Correctional Officers because they are legally cops. If you punched one you would be charged with assault on an officer.
Depends, the ones that process the people arrested are sheriff’s here in my county. Once you get into the county jail those are not.
