District Attorney Eighth Judicial District (CO)

Today is Law Enforcement Appreciation Day. We cannot do our work without our law enforcement partners. We are grateful for all they do to protect our communities and for the opportunity to work alongside them every day. Join us in thanking all of our law enforcement agencies!

January is National Human Trafficking Awareness Month, and this year's theme is Stronger Connections. Stronger Futures. You may or may not know that our office leads a multidisciplinary team (MDT) that meets monthly to identify potential trafficking in our communities.

It is Purple Thursday! We hope you are wearing your purple to support survivors and DVAM. 💜
