Derek Colling

Albany County Sheriff's Corporal Derek Colling has official resigned from the Sheriff's Office yesterday. This comes 31 months after he had killed Robbie Ramirez during a traffic stop, in which his continued employment after the incident was met with much criticism...

The Albany County Sheriff's Office in 2014 defended hiring Deputy Derek Colling.

A grand jury declined to indict Colling, who remains a sheriff's corporal.

A grand jury declined to bring involuntary manslaughter charges against Colling earlier this month.

Trent said in a news conference Monday that it should be standard practice in the state to convene a grand jury for officer-involved shootings.

The decision to not charge Colling with involuntary manslaughter was announced Thursday after a grand jury found the use of deadly force justifiable.

The forum will include moderated discussions on reform topics including law enforcement procedures and a community police oversight board.

Trent said there is no estimated timeline on when she will receive final reports or make a decision on the prosecution of Colling.

Trent did release copies of some emails relating to press releases from November 4, 6, and 13, as well as the ASCO Policy Manual, as requested.

Wyoming law passed in 2017 states that body camera footage from an officer can be made public in cases that are of broad public interest.
