"This case is a perfect example of how legislation and policies in this state handcuff your police officers.” ~Chief Chris Noeller, Pueblo PD

“We should not be forced to choose between protecting civil liberties and maintaining effective public safety tools.” Former Boulder DA explains what’s at stake if SB70 passes, limiting access to tools used to solve crimes & help victims https://t.co/pQrrOZCLlO #coleg #copolitics

Colorado lawmakers made the right call letting House Bill 26-1037 fail. The bill would have limited law enforcement’s access to basic information, undermining its ability to investigate crimes efficiently, protect victims, and keep officers & communities safe.

Powerful testimony from law enforcement & victims’ families on House Bill 26 1281.
The bill could reduce accountability for some of Colorado’s most dangerous crimes — even when multiple lives are at risk. ⬇️

We applaud Gov. Polis’ call to protect funding. License plate readers, along with the Colorado Auto Theft Prevention Authority and Colorado Information Sharing Consortium, are driving this progress. Maintaining CAPTA and CISC funding is critical, yet these programs face $8M cuts.

[Governor Jared Polis @GovofCO]

This data shows that what we are doing is working, and we are not stopping here. I'm thrilled that in 2025, auto theft has plummeted, decreasing by 34%, representing a 56% decrease since 2021. We are making smart data-driven investments to support law enforcement and prevent crime, and the results speak for themselves. I urge the legislature to protect funding to build on this important work to make Colorado one of the Top Ten safest states and reduce auto theft even more.

What happens when law enforcement has the tools, coordination & support to do the job:
🚗Auto theft ↓ 34% in '25
📉↓ 56% since '21
🔁80% autos stolen in '25 were recovered

Sustained investment + coordination + smart use of data + SB23-097 = progress
