Former Boulder chief files $1.043 million claim against city, cites hostile workplace

Citing “political discrimination and hostile work environment exhibited at the hands of City of Boulder Mayor Russell Giulio,” former Boulder Chief of Police Juan Trujillo has filed a lost wages claim in the amount of $1,043,544.32.

At the same meeting where the city council denied the claim, moving it into the hands of their insurance carrier, the council voted to consent to the mayor’s appointment of a new chief, an officer who had been previously fired by Trujillo.

Giulio denies the claim by Trujillo, saying, “I actually thought it was a pretty good relationship.”
