  • An Examination of Recruiting and Selection Practices to Promote Diversity for Colorado State Troopers
    Research Report C O R P O R A T I O N TRACY C. KRUEGER, SEAN ROBSON, KIRSTEN M. KELLER An Examination of Recruiting and Selection Practices to Promote Diversity for Colorado State Troopers he Colorado State Patrol (CSP) has recently increased investments to attract, select, and train highly qualified troopers. An important component of these efforts is to increase the demographic composition of CSP to better reflect the communities it serves. Achieving Tthese goals can be challenging because the levels of interest and qualifications required to serve in law enforcement, and specifically as a state trooper, may not be equally distributed across the state. Furthermore, the strategies used to meet these goals must adhere to equal opportu- nity laws to ensure legal compliance and a fair selection process. Despite these difficulties, CSP’s 2019–2023 Strategic Plan emphasizes its continued commitment to these KEY FINDINGS objectives. For example, one compo- nent of the four strategic goals reads, ■ In 2015, the Colorado State Patrol (CSP) replaced its in-house writ- “Building upon recent incremental ten examination with a professionally developed aptitude test.

This report marks the first year in a series for positive changes in the format and graphics of the document. Due to the diversity of geographic and demographic regions in Colorado, accomplishments of each field district will be featured annually. Although state-wide fatalities increased in calendar year 1989 over 1988, we are holding the line on fatal accidents investigated by the Patrol. Our success resulted from our proven technique of identifying and targeting high accident-causing violations and locations and applying available resources to solve the problems.

  • Probabilistic Source-To-Sink Analysis of the Provenance of the California Paleoriver: Implications for the Early Eocene Paleog
    PROBABILISTIC SOURCE-TO-SINK ANALYSIS OF THE PROVENANCE OF THE CALIFORNIA PALEORIVER: IMPLICATIONS FOR THE EARLY EOCENE PALEOGEOGRAPHY OF WESTERN NORTH AMERICA by Evan Rhys Jones A thesis submitted to the Faculty and the Board of Trustees of the Colorado School of Mines in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Geology). Golden, Colorado Date __________________________ Signed: _____________________________ Evan Jones Signed: _____________________________ Dr. Piret Plink-Björklund Thesis Advisor Golden, Colorado Date __________________________ Signed: _____________________________ Dr. M. Stephen Enders Interim Department Head Department of Geology and Geological Engineering ii ABSTRACT The Latest Paleocene to Early Eocene Colton and Wasatch Formations exposed in the Roan Cliffs on the southern margin of the Uinta Basin, UT make up a genetically related lobate wedge of dominantly fluvial deposits. Estimates of the size of the river that deposited this wedge of sediment vary by more than an order of magnitude. Some authors suggest the sediments are locally derived from Laramide Uplifts that define the southern margin of the Uinta Basin, the local recycling hypotheses. Other authors suggest the sediments were transported by a river system with headwaters 750 km south of the Uinta Basin, the California paleoriver hypothesis. This study uses source-to-sink analysis to constrain the size of the river system that deposited the Colton-Wasatch Fm. We pay particular attention to the what magnitude and recurrence interval of riverine discharge is preserved in the Colton-Wasatch Fm. stratigraphy, and consider the effects this has on scaling discharge to the paleo-catchment area of the system. We develop new scaling relationships between discharge and catchment area using daily gauging data from 415 rivers worldwide.

An earlier paper (Lanner, 1971) presented results of field surveys in selected parts of northern Utah. This article will cover three Utah areas further to the south, which represent diverse geological and environmental conditions. The occurrence of previously unrecorded species localities is supported by specimens deposited in the Intermountain Herbarium at Utah State University, Logan, Utah (UTC). San Francisco Mountains The San Francisco Mountains, a typical Great Basin fault-block range, are located in Beaver and Millard counties. The range is ori- ented roughly on a north-south axis and is about 18 miles in length.

As the leader of an agency that has lost three members in an eighteen month period in 2015-2016, I am humbled at their perseverance, commitment and selfless giving of their time and expertise. Special thanks are to be given to the Colorado Association of Chiefs of Police, the County Sheriff’s of Colorado, the Colorado Association of Fire Chiefs, the Towing and Recovery Professionals of Colorado and the Colorado Department of Transportation. The collaboration and ideas contained within this document are innovative and provide a quality resource with recommendations for a safer environment for Colorado’s first responders. This proposal is an in-depth look at what is currently being done, but to be effective it is important to address that there is much more work that needs to be done to prevent future deaths of our first responders.

  • West Slope Mountain Lion Management Plan
    West Slope Mountain Lion Plan: Sept 2, 2020 Colorado Parks and Wildlife COLORADO WEST SLOPE MOUNTAIN LION (Puma concolor) MANAGEMENT PLAN Northwest and Southwest Regions September 2020 Colorado Parks and Wildlife Approved by the Parks and Wildlife Commission on September 2, 2020 1 West Slope Mountain Lion Plan: Sept 2, 2020 Executive Summary Colorado Parks and Wildlife’s (CPW) aim for mountain lion management on the West Slope of Colorado is to preserve, protect, enhance and manage mountain lions for the use, benefit, and enjoyment of the state’s citizens and visitors. CPW strives to ensure that mountain lions continue to exist in relatively stable numbers in western Colorado for current and future generations to enjoy through hunting, occasional observation, and for their scientific, ecological and aesthetic value. This mountain lion management plan provides the framework for how CPW will achieve this goal in the Northwest and Southwest CPW Administrative Regions and replaces all existing West Slope Data Analysis Unit (DAU) lion management plans. This West Slope Mountain Lion Management Plan operates with the assertion that CPW’s thirteen DAU plans in western Colorado, each written in 2004 to describe a single lion population, are too small in spatial scale to properly manage solitary, low-density, wide- ranging carnivores like mountain lions. In many cases, sample sizes of mountain lion mortality data have been too small to reduce uncertainty in management conclusions and have not effectively informed past DAU objectives. This plan increases the size of the management unit at which analysis and evaluation will occur to a more appropriate scale: the CPW Administrative Northwest and Southwest Regions.
