The city of Denver has agreed to pay a deputy sheriff $100,000 in damages to settle a discrimination complaint brought by the U.S. Department of Justice over a failure to accommodate the officer's diabetes-related needs, reports the Denver Post .
As part of the settlement agreement, which the Justice Department announced Tuesday in a news release, the city "will revise its reasonable accommodation policies and procedures and will conduct training on the ADA for Sheriff Department supervisors, command staff and human resources personnel." The ADA is the Americans with Disabilities Act, which requires employers to provide reasonable accommodations to employees.
