“We understand that no amount of money can bring Christian back or ease his family’s pain,” the statement said.

Background

On May 24, Gov. Jared Polis apologized to Simon and Sally Glass, then declared May 24 Christian Glass Day and displayed Glass’ artwork that is being hung in the Capitol.

“What happened to Christian should not have happened,” Polis told Christian’s parents in a livestreamed statement. “We are going to do the best we can to avoid any parents going through what you have gone through.”

Polis’ announcement came a day after four involved agencies reached the multi-million-dollar settlement with the family. Under the settlement, Clear Creek County will pay $10 million; $5 million will come from Georgetown; $3 million from the state of Colorado; and $1 million from Idaho Springs. It is the largest known single payout for police violence in the state’s history.

More about Christian

Christian was born in Christchurch, New Zealand. His mother, Sally Glass, is of British decent, and his father, Simon Glass, is from New Zealand. e Glass family relocated to California when Christian was 10 and eventually moved to Boulder, Colorado.

“Christian had an array of specialties and interests,” a statement from family attorneys said. “He was an avid tennis fan and player, a trained chef who loved to cook, and also a self-taught artist with an innate gift.

Christian used many mediums to make his art, but the majority of his pieces involved oil painting and oil pencil.”

More about the settlement e Clear Creek Sheri ’s O ce has agreed to train and certify all its patrol o cers in crisis intervention. e Colorado State Patrol is expected to develop a virtual reality training based on Christian’s death, with “a focus on de-escalation in a high-stress situation.” sioners on May 23, a statement from him acknowledged “that his o cers failed to meet expectations in their response to Christian Glass when he called for assistance,” calling events on the night of Glass’ death “disturbing.”

And, Clear Creek County has agreed to dedicate a public park to Glass, which will be selected in consultation with his parents.

“ e sheri has undertaken measures intended to prevent a future failure,” a statement in the wake of the settlement announcement read.

“He has been working with partners to establish a program of countywide crisis response. “

Albers also acknowledged that the initial press release describing events surrounding Glass’ death “did not give an accurate description of what occurred.”

“Rather, as stated in the conclusion of the investigative report subsequently issued by the Douglas County Sheri ’s O ce after an independent review requested by Sheri Albers, the deputy who killed Christian Glass used lethal force that ‘was not consistent with that of a reasonable o cer,’” the statement read.

Georgetown said its o cers have been attending courses in intensive crisis intervention responses and are participating in a “countywide co-responder program that allows for the presence of a mental health professional and paramedic tandem to assist law enforcement in future settings.”

Idaho Springs Mayor Chuck Harmon has said that city “leadership remains committed to the constant self-evaluation and betterment of the (Idaho Springs Police Department) in all ways.”

Idaho Springs also “continues to work collaboratively with the Je erson Center for Mental Health, which has a licensed clinician ride with an o cer/deputy each week for com-

NOW HERE’S A TIP

* Use the measuring cups when adding detergent to the washer. It avoids using too much, which can get costly. And it will avoid residual soap left in the fabric.

* If you use air-conditioning, use a programmable thermostat. You can set it to a higher temperature overnight, when it’s naturally cooler, and have it cool down the house right about the time you’ll get home, so there’s no wasted energy cooling a house with no one in it.

* When putting woody-stem flowers, such as roses, in a vase, cut the stem diagonally and whack with a small mallet. It will absorb water much better this way. -- A.R. in Mississippi

* Save small milk cartons and wash well. Fill with water and freeze. You can use these in your picnic basket for an easy cold pack to keep foods chilled. * Too many suds in the sink? Try sprinkling them with salt. The foam will settle down quickly!

* Shower rings (the hooks that hold your shower curtain to the curtain bar) can be used for lots of things: I keep one in my sewing basket to hold safety pins. It’s terrific, and the pins are orderly and easy to find. -- E.L. in Utah
