DENVER — The Department of Corrections is seeking more than $500,000 for two dedicated security officers for the prison chief and his wife.
Ever since the March 2013 murder of then-prison chief Tom Clements at his home, the executive director of the Department of Corrections has been provided around the clock security.
In a request to the Joint Budget Committee, the Department of Corrections asked for an additional $107,206 to provide security for director Rick Raemisch through June, and then $421,675 to provide security from July 2014 through June 2015.
