About Colorado Department of Public Safety
The Colorado Department of Public Safety (CDPS) consists of five operational divisions that cover a breadth of safety programs and services, and a sixth division that provides support for the operational divisions.
CDPS employees are dedicated to a safer Colorado. Each division coordinates work, acting as a piece of the puzzle that is Colorado Department of Public Safety.
Note: Colorado's local law enforcement, emergency management, fire, and criminal justice agencies operate with home-rule authority. While local jurisdictions often partner with CDPS agencies, they are not overseen by the Department of Public Safety. If you have a question or concern about municipal or county safety services, you may need to contact your local jurisdiction.
