A man who briefly served as Ouray Countyâs undersheriff and a former Delta Police Department officer are among those who cannot be certified to work as a peace officer again in Colorado.

Gayâs revocation was among six to come about because of a new statutory provision passed in 2019.
Herman was indicted in 2019 on a charge of attempted inducement of child prostitution after an encounter in 2018 with a Montrose teen, who alleged to police Herman had attempted to solicit sexual favors. This sent the youth into a panic; the teen fled and called 911.
