LAKEWOOD – This year, Governor Jared Polis signed a comprehensive public safety plan into law. Key components of the Governor's public safety plan include the creation of new public safety grant programs that will make more than $70 million available to Colorado communities over upcoming years. The Colorado Division of Criminal Justice (DCJ) within the Department of Public Safety and Polis administration is now accepting applications for a pool of $4.2 million in grant funding aimed at preventing youth delinquency and providing early intervention for youth who have entered or are at-risk of entering the juvenile justice system.
"We are acting on our commitment to make Colorado among the top ten safest states in the nation and I was proud to sign this transformative legislation to help deliver real results to improve public safety and give our kids every opportunity to succeed and build a healthy and happy life," said Governor Polis.
This May, Governor Polis signed HB22-1003 Youth Delinquency Prevention and Intervention Grants, which was sponsored by Reps. Lindsay Daugherty of Arvada and Serena Gonzales-Gutierrez of Denver and Senators James Coleman of Denver and Nick Hinrichsen of Pueblo. The grants provided through this law intend to support youth-oriented early intervention programs to keep young Coloradans out of the criminal justice system.
