CLEAR CREEK COUNTY, Colo. — Clear Creek County Sheriff Rick Albers, who has been under fire over his handling of the June 2022 shooting death of 22-year-old Christian Glass, announced his retirement Wednesday evening.
“It is with mixed emotions that I am announcing my retirement as the Sheriff of the Clear Creek County Sheriff’s Office as of August 3, 2023,” Albers wrote in a statement that was posted to the department's Facebook page. “To the former and current staff of the Clear Creek County Sheriff’s Office, I want to ‘THANK YOU’ for your tireless dedication to the Clear Creek County Community. It has been my pleasure to have had the honor to work beside you over the past 43 years.
Attorneys for the Glass family had previously called for Albers to resign. In a statement Thursday, the Rathoud Mohamedbhai LLC firm called Albers’ resignation a “step in the right direction.” In an exclusive interview with Denver7 Investigates, Clear Creek County Commissioner Randy Wheelock said commissioners felt there had been a failure of leadership leading up to and following the shooting.
