- Records detail Golden firefighter’s role in racist doll incident
Internal investigation records revealed that a Golden firefighter admitted to hanging a Black novelty doll, called a "Snoop on the Stoop," from a rope inside a fire station stairwell. Following admission of responsibility in April, he was demoted and suspended after admitting guilt during an internal investigation process. The incident led to public backlash and broader fallout concerning city leadership.
