June 13, 2016 June 13, 2016 "It is better to look ahead and prepare than to look back and regret." -Jackie Joyner-Kersee Hickenlooper signs into law biggest change to alcohol sales in Colorado since Prohibition Denver Post Gov. John Hickenlooper signed into law Friday sweeping legislation that would transform how Coloradans buy their libations. With hours left to act before a midnight deadline, the former brewpub tycoon took up a legislative compromise meant to stave off a ballot measure to put full-strength beer and wine on grocery shelves. He had three options: veto the bill, sign it or allow it to become law without his support. Senate Bill 197, passed in the final days of the legislative session that ended in May, represents the biggest change to Colorado liquor laws since Prohibition in 1933. Colorado ski areas set visitor record, pass 13 million for first time Denver Post Visitation to Colorado ski areas topped 13 million for the first time ever in 2015-16. The Colorado Ski Country resort trade group reported Thursday that its 21 member resorts hosted 7.4 million visits last season, up from 7.1 million in 2014-15. Add in Breckenridge, Vail, Keystone and Beaver Creek ski areas, which parent Vail Resorts said Thursday saw visits exceed last year's record tally, and the state's booming ski industry pushed past the 12.6 million visit high mark set in 2013-14. Vail does not break out performance for individual resorts, but the company's four Colorado resorts - including the two busiest in the nation, Vail and Breckenridge - hosted more than 5.6 million in 2014-15. Avalanche is an inherent risk of skiing, Colorado Supreme Court rules in Winter Park death case Denver Post The Colorado Supreme Court has ruled that avalanches are an inherent risk of skiing, ending a contentious debate over a ski area's liability when an avalanche kills a skier inside a resort boundary. The Colorado ski industry agreed with the high court's decision, which was delivered Tuesday morning. The court ruled that avalanches are an inherent risk of skiing and resorts are protected from avalanche-related lawsuits under the venerable Ski Safety Act legislation, which prohibits lawsuits by skiers and snowboarders injured or killed as a result of the inherent dangers and risks of skiing, such as difficult-to-mitigate threats related to terrain, weather and snow conditions. Gov. Hickenlooper vetoes bill on mental health holds Denver Post Gov. John Hickenlooper Thursday vetoed a bill that would have expanded the number of places a person can be placed during a mental health hold, and the length of time that place can be in a jail or emergency room while awaiting a bed in a facility. The legislation, Senate Bill 169, had passed the legislature with broad, and bipartisan, support. In his veto letter, Hickenlooper called the bill "well-intentioned." "We agree that appropriate mental health facilities are not always readily available to treat persons having a mental health crisis. While well-intentioned, we are concerned that (the bill) does not provide adequate due process for individuals," stated the veto letter signed by Hickenlooper. Meet The First Woman Ever To Lead The Denver Post Colorado Public Radio Lee Ann Colacioppo is the new editor at The Denver Post. The longtime Denverite is the first woman in the paper's history to have this position. She's got plenty of challenges ahead of her, including a newsroom staff that is likely to be a third of the size it was at the paper's peak. Colacioppo spoke with Colorado Matters host Nathan Heffel. Click above to hear the conversation and read a transcript below. Grantham talks Senate majority, construction defects in Denver Colorado Statesman For Republicans looking to maintain control of the Senate, and perhaps make inroads in the House, being able to stop the bills Democrats want is as important as getting their own bills passed. Sen. Kevin Grantham, R-Canyon City, made the trip to Denver June 3 to speak at a morning meeting of the Denver Republican Party. During his remarks, he talked about the 2013-2014 Legislative sessions and the liberal bills passed in those two years as a major reason Republicans had to maintain the majority in the Senate this November. "Those two sessions, we saw more anti-gun legislation, anti-free market legislation. We saw more green energy mandate legislation and so on and so forth than we've ever seen out of our Legislature," Grantham said. "That's why we need to keep (the Senate). The governor is going to be in office for the next two years. There's nothing we can do about that. We have a House that we might be able to take it back, but we have the Senate right now and I know we can keep it. We need your help." Libertarians pick ex-New Mexico Gov. Johnson for president The Colorado Statesman The Libertarian Party again nominated former New Mexico Gov. Gary Johnson as its presidential candidate Sunday, believing he can challenge presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump and Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton because of their poor showing in popularity polls. Johnson, 63, won the nomination on the second ballot at the party's convention in Orlando, Florida, defeating Austin Petersen, the founder of The Libertarian Republic magazine; and anti-computer virus company founder John McAfee. The delegates selected former Massachusetts Gov. William Weld to be his vice presidential running mate. Johnson, the party's nominee in 2012, told the delegates during his acceptance speech that his job will be to get the Libertarian platform before the voters at a level the party has not seen. Republican U.S. Senate candidate Darryl Glenn has tough road to November ballot Colorado Springs Gazette A Democrat political tracker - an opposition party henchman trying to catch political faux pas on camera - crashed a small neighborhood meet-and-greet for Darryl Glenn earlier this month. The man stood obtrusively in the middle of the living room with a small camera recording Glenn's conversations. The man was asked to leave - and did so without incident. But the fact he was dispatched to a small event for Glenn represents a recent and seismic shift in Colorado's Republican U.S. Senate primary race. In April 2015, top officials within the Colorado Democratic Party didn't know who Darryl Glenn was or that the El Paso County commissioner had declared his candidacy that January. Glenn was dismissed by the media, which reported Republicans had been unsuccessful at soliciting a big-name candidate to challenge incumbent Democrat Michael Bennet. Brewers Deflect from Colorado Brewers Guild to form new trade group, Craft Beer Colorado Westword Some major members of the Colorado Brewers Guild have deflected to start their own group, Craft Beer Colorado. Its founding members include heavy hitters like Odell, Left Hand, New Belgium, Funkwerks and Renegade Brewing. The new group is currently 14 strong. One the of largest reasons for the deflection, as we understand it, is consternation over whether A-B- owned brewers -- i.e., Breckenridge -- should be allowed as voting members, or at all, in the CBG. Census: Denver fastest growing city in the U.S. KUSA We're about to tell you something you probably already could have guessed: Denver is the fastest- growing city in the country, according to census data. In fact, in just the last year, Denver's population jumped by 2.8 percent. It was enough to move it up two spots, making it the 19th largest city in the country. The newest census bureau report says 682,454 people call Denver home. Effort to undo TABOR tax law dealt blow by court Denver Post A legal effort to dismantle Colorado's controversial TABOR tax law was dealt a major setback when a federal appeals court ruled that some of its biggest opponents did not have standing to move forward with a court challenge. The decision by the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals means that Colorado's Taxpayer's Bill of Rights, or TABOR, isn't going anywhere soon - nor its requirement that state lawmakers and city leaders get permission from voters before raising taxes. "For half a decade now, we've been fighting a federal court battle to defend our voters' right to have a voice in state tax policy," said Colorado Attorney General Cynthia Coffman in a statement. "I hope this decisive win will convince TABOR's opponents that the courts are not the place to pursue their political agenda." Colorado's 2016 workforce-development package now fully signed into law Denver Business Journal Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper has signed the last measure of a seven-bill workforce-development package that is meant to supplement a more ballyhooed eight-bill effort that went into law after the 2015 legislative session. House Bill 1287, signed without much fanfare, directs the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment to look into how businesses can increase their use of apprenticeship programs and then to make recommendations to the Legislature on what it can do to further that goal. It flew largely under the radar during the legislative session that ended on May 11. Another bill - House Bill 1289, signed on May 27 at a formal ceremony in Pueblo - was one of the more substantial measures of the seven-bill package that made it successfully through the Legislature out of 10 bills introduced in February. Denver's affordable housing fee: How high will it be? Denver Business Journal Denver City Council members are assuring builders that a development fee leveraged against them to help create a $150 million affordable housing fund will not be as high as a new study found are legally justified.

    IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLORADO Civil Action No. 13-CV-1300-MSK-MJW JOHN B. COOKE, Sheriff of Weld County, Colorado; et al. Plaintiffs, vs. JOHN W. HICKENLOOPER, Governor of the State of Colorado, Defendant. FIFTY-FIVE COLORADO SHERIFFS’ RESPONSE BRIEF TO DEFENDANT’S MOTION TO DISMISS THEM IN THEIR OFFICIAL CAPACITIES Fifty-five Colorado Sheriffs, by and through their counsel, file this Response Brief to Defendant’s motion to dismiss them from the case in their official capacities.1 SUMMARY OF ARGUMENT Under the Tenth Circuit’s precedents on the political subdivision doctrine, the 55 Sheriffs have standing because they have “a personal stake” in the case. As will be described below, the personal stake includes the apprehension of criminals who have murdered a Sheriff. This did happen in 1994, and if HB 1224 had been in effect then, the murderers could have escaped. 1 For the reasons set forth in the separate Response filed by the other Plaintiffs, which the 55 Sheriffs also join, this Court should deny Defendant’s motion to dismiss the second, third, and fourth claims for relief. 1 The Sheriffs also have a personal stake in HB 1229, which makes every Sheriff into a criminal simply for conducting the ordinary operations of his or her Office by temporarily transferring firearms to deputies. The Sheriffs, in their official capacities, also have a personal stake because HB 1224 has made it difficult or impossible for the Sheriffs and their deputies to obtain standard magazines for their duty firearms. (By “standard,” the Sheriffs mean magazines of the standard size supplied by the manufacturer for a firearm.

THE POSSE COMITATUS AND THE OFFICE OF SHERIFF: ARMED CITIZENS SUMMONED TO THE AID OF LAW ENFORCEMENT DAVID B. KOPEL* Posse comitatus is the legal power of sheriffs and other officials to summon armed citizens to aid in keeping the peace. The posse comitatus can be traced back at least as far as the reign of Alfred the Great in ninth- century England. The institution thrives today in the United States; a study of Colorado finds many county sheriffs have active posses. Like the law of the posse comitatus, the law of the office of sheriff has been remarkably stable for over a millennium.

  • La Plata County Sheriff's Office { Durango, CO } a Brief History 1871
    La Plata County Sheriff’S Office { Durango, CO } A Brief History 1871 – 2016 By Dan BeNder, LPCSO Revised May 10th 2017 1 Acknowledgments Accurate history is a tenuous thing, especially when looking back over one hundred years. While every attempt was made to be accurate in this summary of the history of La Plata County Colorado Sheriff’s Office, this story’s contents are based on: a collection of sometimes conflicting newspaper articles spanning 140 years; interviews with people decades after the events; governmental records that were partially lost or damaged due to fires and relocations. A prime example is pinning down who was Sheriff in what year. Some accounts are based on year elected (most often in November). Other quoted dates are based on the year sworn in (usually January). Some people were simply appointed and accurate dates are sketchy. What success I had in reconciling names, dates, and events came from the guidance and knowledge of others. For their help, I thank: Dr. Duane Smith; La Plata County Historical Society; Fort Lewis College Center for Southwest Studies; Durango Herald; Rocky Mountain Boom Town, a History of Durango Colorado, by Duane Smith, University Press; Pioneers of the San Juan Country, Volumes I, II, III, IV compiled by the Sarah Decker Chapter, DAR (Daughters of the Revolution), Family History Publishers, Bountiful Utah. A Fort Lewis College student report written in 1971 by Denny H. Schilthius also proved very helpful. While readers may find errors, the central theme of this history of La Plata County Sheriff’s Office is genuine & intriguing.

  • Mounted Rangers Agreement
    STAFF MEMO June 16, 2017 Special Council Meeting DATE: June 16, 2017 AGENDA ITEM NUMBER: 4 TOPIC: Staff Updates, Mounted Rangers Discussion TIME FRAME: · The Town entered into the first agreement with the Colorado Mounted Rangers in July 2014. SUMMARY: Since July of 2014, The Dillon Police Department has had a relationship with the Colorado Mounted Rangers (Rangers) to assist us providing security, crowd control, and traffic control at large special events. In 2015, Colorado POST implemented a requirement of a minimum of 40 hours of annual training for every sworn police officer to maintain POST certification. Being comprised of all- volunteers, the Rangers found it very difficult to achieve the required training hours to maintain their POST Certifications for their sworn personnel. Legislation was passed which defined a reserve officer, detailed the duties a reserve officer may perform under of a host agency (Dillon Police Department), and established the Rangers as the Colorado Rangers Law Enforcement Shared Reserve (still to be known simply as Colorado Rangers). This intergovernmental agreement with the Rangers and the listed law enforcement agencies establishes the group of member agencies who will share in the services of the Rangers. As you know, the Colorado Rangers are an integral part of this agency, enhancing our abilities to police the large special events the Town produces. BUDGET IMPACT: The Rangers provide support free of charge, resulting in a positive budget impact. DEPARTMENT HEAD RESPONSIBLE: Mark Heminghous, Police
