Residents in one Colorado city want transparency, answers after police and fire chiefs were fired

CBS News Colorado: Four days after the Federal Heights police and fire chiefs were seemingly terminated from their positions, community members are speaking out against what they say has been a long history of retaliation against first responders in the community.

“No one is sharing anything, and then with them both being terminated, by an email, without knowledge, is just not okay in any shape or form,” said Renee Lund, a Federal Heights resident and volunteer victims advocate for the city.

Multiple residents spoke before city council leaders Monday night, expressing their frustrations with what they felt has been a lack of transparency and accountability from the council and City Manager Jacqueline Halburnt, who they say was responsible for both Chiefs Robert Grado and Marc Mahoney being ousted from their roles.
