The Department of Law has a unique opportunity for an Extreme Risk Protection Order Training Specialist. This position will be the first of its kind at the Department of Law and will oversee curriculum development and training of this new subject area. This position will also support POST within the Department of Law on the development and rollout of updated curriculum for law enforcement training academies in Colorado. We are looking for someone with strong interpersonal skills, experience with Extreme Risk Protection Orders or similar subject areas (such as domestic violence protection orders), and a passion for impactful, real-world law enforcement training. This is a collaborative, dynamic, and community-focused role. If you’re interested in making a difference, apply today!

This position is open only to Colorado state residents.

This position will also assist the Peace Officer Standards and Training Unit (POST). POST’s work within the DOL includes: assist the POST Board with statutory and rule requirements for the approval of basic training academies; ensure that peace officer applicants trained in other states meet the standard of certification; to qualify the training of all individuals seeking Colorado Peace Officer Certification; to manage the continuing law enforcement education of Colorado peace officers; to maintain the training records and certification accomplishments of the Colorado peace officers recognized in Title 16, Article 2.5, part 1 of the Colorado Revised Statutes; to receive and review peace officer training grant applications funded by the POST Peace Officer Training Project and to provide grant award funds for continuing law enforcement educational programs for POST certified Colorado peace officers; to manage Peace Officer Certifications, per Title 24, Article 31, part 3 of the Colorado Revised Statutes; to engage in community outreach to educate the public about POST; as the designated Independent Credentialing Body, to audit agency compliance with Presidential Executive Order #13929; and to investigate criminal and civil violations of POST statutes pursuant to § 24-31-307, C.R.S.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

In partnership with the Legal Counsel to the Attorney General and the Extreme Risk Protection Order Project Coordinator, this position will provide specialized knowledge to the development of Extreme Risk Protection Order (ERPO) training for law enforcement and other professionals, deliver training across the state, and offer technical assistance. This position is partially funded by an Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant Program (JAG grant). The grant funds the development and delivery of two main categories of ERPO trainings – one focused on law enforcement and one focused on K-12 and University educators. The position will be responsible for advising on the development of both trainings, delivering the trainings to law enforcement and educators, collecting and analyzing pre- and post-training assessments, and providing both ad hoc and ongoing technical assistance to both schools and school districts and to law enforcement when questions related to ERPOs arise.

In partnership with the POST team and the Legal Counsel to the Attorney General, this position will also assist in an existing project to redesign the curriculum taught in Colorado’s law enforcement training academies. The goal of this project is to develop a more detailed and standardized curriculum that all law enforcement training academies will use across Colorado. The focus of the curriculum will be on hands-on and experiential learning. This portion of the position is funded by POST. This position will be responsible for assisting in the creation of curriculum materials for the redesign project and in the roll-out of the updated curriculum.

This is a term-limited position that will last until the expiration of the JAG grant in June 2027.
