The family of Christian Glass, a 22-year-old man shot by a sheriff's deputy during a Mental Health Crisis, will receive a $19 million settlement from state and local government agencies in addition to changes in how officers are trained. The settlement is the largest of its kind in Colorado history and includes the establishment of a crisis response team and the training and certification of all deputies in crisis intervention by Clear Creek County. The state of Colorado will also create a virtual reality training scenario for the Colorado State Patrol based on the shooting that will focus on de-escalation in stressful situations involving officers from different agencies.
