County examines death
We are saddened by the death of Lukus Glenn and our hearts go out to his family. We are also respectful of the difficult decisions law enforcement officers must make every day to ensure our safety.
An investigation about the shooting is under way by the district attorney's office and the Washington County Major Crimes Team. Experienced detectives from a half-dozen law enforcement agencies, under the leadership of the Washington County district attorney, are analyzing information about this tragic incident.
Like everyone else concerned about the loss of a life and the impact on the family of the young man as well as the deputies and their families, we must await results of the review. The district attorney is limited to determining whether criminal charges are warranted and whether to present the case to a grand jury.
The sheriff and his staff also carefully review every incident involving the use of force by deputies. They examine whether policies are followed; they will determine whether policy changes are needed and work to ensure that deputies have access to resources and equipment needed to resolve such incidents without resorting to deadly force if possible. They will also identify lessons learned that can be included in the regular use-of-force training received by all deputies.
Please join us in patiently waiting for the time necessary to obtain the results of these thorough and impartial investigations.
