Colorado is proud to lead the nation in educational attainment, but we know we can do even better. We want to ensure that every Coloradan has the opportunity to get the skills they need to fill good-paying jobs that power our economy. This landmark report shows that Colorado is moving in the right direction, and we continue working to innovate and create even more ways that people can get credentialed or certified for skills they acquire in life or in higher education.

Pale Blue Dot is a photo of Earth that was taken by the Voyager 1 space probe in 1990 from a distance of about 6 billion kilometers (3.7 billion miles) as it was leaving our solar system. This is what Carl Sagan said about the photo:

"Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it, everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor, and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every 'superstar,' every 'supreme leader,' every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there — on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

The Earth is the only world known so far to harbor life. There is nowhere else, at least in the near future, to which our species could migrate. Visit, yes. Settle, not yet. Like it or not, for the moment the Earth is where we make our stand. It has been said that astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience. There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known.”

🚨🔒 Stay vigilant against credit card skimming devices! 🔒🚨

They might look like your standard keypad at self-checkout, but some are actually skimming devices! On April 1, the two pictured individuals attached a credit card skimming device to a self-checkout register at Walmart located on Exposition. It wasn’t until July 1 that the device was discovered! It is still not known how many people could have had their information stolen, but detectives are actively working on this case. If you recognize either of these individuals, please contact @CrimeStoppersCO.

With the increase in self-checkout registers, investigators have noticed a rise in credit card skimming incidents, where criminals install hidden devices on card readers to steal your sensitive information. Here's how you can protect yourself:

🔎 Stay Observant: Before using any card reader, inspect it closely for any signs of tampering or loose components, even consider giving it a tug since they are usually only installed with tape. If something seems off, trust your instincts, and report it to staff or management.

🕵️ Shield Your PIN: While entering your PIN, shield the keypad with your hand or body to prevent anyone from capturing it with hidden cameras or who might be peeking over your shoulder.

💳 Choose High-Visibility Locations: Opt for gas pumps, ATMs, or checkout registers that are more frequented or can be seen by the attendant. Skimmers often target remote or less busy areas.

📱 Use Contactless Payment: Whenever possible, utilize contactless payment methods like Apple Pay or Google Pay. These methods provide an extra layer of security by not transmitting your actual credit card number.

🔒 Monitor Your Accounts: Regularly check your credit card and bank statements for any unauthorized transactions. Report suspicious activity immediately to your financial institution and the police.

💼 Report Suspected Skimming: If you come across a suspicious card reader or suspect skimming activity, notify the authorities and the business where it was found. Your help can prevent others from falling victim.

🔄 Share the Word: Spread awareness about credit card skimming among family and friends.
