From fiscal year 2016-2017 through 2019-2020, seven of the eighteen DCJ-funded Colorado juvenile diversion programs received additional resources from the Marijuana Tax Fund to address substance use among the youth their programs serve. While all juvenile diversion programs worked to address the needs of youth in their programs, these seven programs received additional funds to explicitly support substance use-related training and certifications for staff, provision of substance use prevention/intervention curricula, and to offset costs that are otherwise passed on to the youth and family for substance use assessment and treatment, and drug and alcohol testing. This report examines a subset of diversion youth data from those programs receiving Marijuana Tax Fund dollars with a specific focus on comparing outcomes for the diversion youth who received services paid for by the Marijuana Tax Fund compared to those that did not receive these services within the funded programs., submitted to: Colorado Division of Criminal Justice, Office of Adult and Juvenile Justice Assistance., "June 2020.", Online resource; title from PDF cover (viewed March 2022)

This Emergency Response Guide serves as the standardized guide to be used by State employees during emergency situations. All employees should be familiar with this guide to quickly find information when an emergency does occur. All employees are expected to cooperate with the implementation of these procedures during real emergencies as well as exercises designed to test these procedures. This document is not intended to replace standard operating procedures, laws, or regulations; it is merely a quick reference guide. This document suggests common sense practices and should be used as a guide only. The respective department's "Emergency Action Plan" or "Emergency Operations Plan" should be read before proceeding., "Effective 10/7/14.", Online resource; title from PDF cover (viewed February 2018)
The goal of the parole release guideline is to provide a consistent framework for the Board to evaluate and weigh specific release decision factors and, based on a structured decision matrix, to offer an advisory release decision recommendation for parole applicants who are not identified as sex offenders. The evidence-based release guideline instrument offers the significant advantage of uniformity in the application of decision criteria, but the guideline cannot adapt to the unique and emergent characteristics of each offender's parole application hearing., prepared by Kevin L.

In the last 20 years, wildland fires in Colorado have increased in frequency and severity. This has resulted in lengthy and costly community and natural resource recoveries. As our communities continue to grow into the Wildland Urban Interface (WUI), more residents are subject to post-fire impacts such as flooding, debris flows, and other natural hazards exacerbated by fire. While recovery from a wildland fire begins and ends locally, there are many state, federal, and non-governmental partners available to draw upon for support. It is critical that impacted communities begin planning and implementing measures to limit the impacts from large wildland fires at the onset of the fire to limit impacts on residents, businesses, and the natural environment. Until communities reestablish forest or grasslands vegetation, flooding, soil erosion, and debris flows will continue to be threats., "May 2021.", Online resource; title from PDF cover (viewed October 2021)
