Boulder has resumed allowing off-duty police to work for BI Inc. after cutting off services to the company earlier this month.

The original decision was prompted by BI’s role in assisting immigration authorities to track people released from detention.

The ankle monitor manufacturer is owned by GEO Group, which recently lost its long term  contract with the City of Denver to provide halfway-house services. The company and Denver have since agreed to a short-term contract.

The company can now recommence hiring off-duty police officers from the city to provide additional security at its offices as protests are held outside their headquarters.

“(The decision’s reversal) leads me to not understanding where the city of Boulder stands on holding businesses within its city limits accountable for their impact on the community,” Katie Farnan, an organizer of one such protest, told the Boulder Daily Camera.

A spokesperson for GEO Group said that “false narratives” have put the safety of their employees at risk.

“We appreciate the Boulder officials reversing course on their decision to single out our company and our employees by withholding off-duty police protection, which we pay for at our own expense,” said Rich Coolidge to the Camera. “We have been part of the Boulder community for more than three decades and appreciate the professional men and women who serve as Boulder police officers and welcome the opportunity to work with them again.”
