CBI technicians have completed a preliminary examination of the computer equipment. It's still in the investigative stages right now. Meanwhile, authorities plan to verify the accuracy of electronic reports by comparing the documents with hard copies, according to Detective Cmdr. John Eller, who helps manage the homicide investigation. Whether this will have an impact on this case depends on the outcome of the investigation.
Officials intend to upgrade the security on individual computers and the room.
The room has eight work stations, a phone system, computers, covered windows, garbage cans, and at least one printer and paper shredder, according to Laurion. There is a metal detector to go into the Justice Center, so there is security in that entire building. The building is not open after hours to the general public. The possible theft may influence the public's view of the Boulder Police Department, said David Kaplan, a criminal defense attorney and a former president of the Colorado Criminal Defense Bar. The inability to make sure that their documents are secured does not speak well of the department.
