John Cooke – Weld County Sheriff’s Office

In 1988, while serving as an Internal Affairs investigator, Cooke led an investigation into misconduct allegations against Denise Seybold, a records technician. Seybold was cleared, but she alleged that Cooke called her a liar and threatened her job. Years later, as Sheriff, Cooke was sued by Seybold for failing to promote her and alleged discrimination and retaliation. The court granted summary judgment in favor of Cooke, dismissing Seybold’s claims.

Why This Matters

By organizing this data, we can potentially demonstrate when officers were previously aware of laws they later claim ignorance of, challenging qualified immunity defenses and promoting accountability.
