The Colorado Attorney General's Office, through the Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST) Board, received a $499,914 Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Justice's Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS Office) under the Public Safety Partnership and Community Policing Grants program (CFDA 16.710). The purpose of this 24-month award, running from October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2026, is to undertake a comprehensive project to update and enhance the basic law enforcement training curriculum in Colorado, with a focus on integrating de-escalation skills. To complete this project, POST will partner with Force Concepts, experts in adult learning, curriculum design, and curriculum integration. The updated curriculum will include scenario-based practical exercises and integrate concepts from ICAT, EDMUS, and ABLE - training programs now mandated for in-service, but not currently included at the academy level.
