Colorado House adopts resolution honoring law enforcement
Summary
The Colorado House adopted House Resolution 1006 to honor law enforcement officers across the state, with sponsors and members praising officers’ service and urging community partnership; the resolution passed by recorded voice (60 yes, 0 no, 5 excused).
The Colorado House on April 30 adopted House Resolution 1006, a measure expressing the chamber’s appreciation for law enforcement officers across the state.
Representative Wuge, a sponsor, framed the resolution as a tribute to officers’ daily service and personal sacrifice, saying the chamber should "stand shoulder to shoulder with those who serve and protect" and urging colleagues to vote yes. Representative Clifford, who joined as a co-sponsor, said the measure acknowledges both the value of policing and the complicated policy questions surrounding it, adding, "Blessed are the peacemakers." Several members noted local law-enforcement guests in the chamber and a range of agencies represented, including state patrol and municipal departments.
The resolution’s text recognizes officers’ adoption of body-worn cameras and crime centers, highlights staffing and mental‑health response challenges, and encourages Coloradans to engage with law‑enforcement agencies to build trust. After brief remarks in support, the House proceeded to a recorded outcome: "With 60 I, 0 no, and 5 excused, House Resolution 1006 is adopted."
The adoption is ceremonial and does not change policy or funding. After passage the House recessed briefly to greet invited guests in the well.
