Andrew Fraieli is an investigative journalist who runs a nonprofit that he started called Blue Surveillance, based out of Denver, Colorado. Basically what he does is monitor Colorado’s “Peace Officer Standards and Training” (POST) website which documents the certification of police officers within the state. He noticed that a Wheat Ridge Police Department officer named Carlos Bowdre was terminated from that department in July of 2025. But there was no explanation or public disclosure that explained the reason for that termination. So he submitted a public records request. But the Wheat Ridge Police Department didn’t want to turn over the video.
