It also mandates that DCJ analyze and report the data on an annual basis. This fifth annual report documents findings based on officer-involved shootings that occurred between January 1, 2010, and June 30, 2019. Between January 1, 2010, and June 30, 2019, 150 law enforcement agencies reported data to the Division of Criminal Justice. Of those, 65 agencies reported 432 shooting incidents involving 793 officers and 480 citizens. The majority of the citizens and officers were White (53% and 82%, respectively); the citizen group included 30% Hispanics and 13% Black/African Americans. As a group, the citizens were younger, on average, than the officers. Among the citizens, Black/African Americans were youngest, on average, compared to Hispanics and Whites. The data revealed that over half (56%) of the incidents originated with a call for service. In nearly two-thirds (60%) of shooting incidents officers perceived an imminent threat to officers or citizens. In 22% of incidents, a shot was fired at the officer. The officer perceived some level of threat in 15% of incidents, 2% of incidents involved preventing an escape. In 74% of the cases, a verbal warning was issued before the incident. In 41% of incidents, there was some indication of intoxication with alcohol, drugs, or a combination of those.Item A Report of Officer Involved Shootings in Colorado: January 1, 2010-June 30, 2018(Office of Research and Statistics, Colorado Division of Criminal Justice, 3/1/2019) Lucero, Laurence; Flick, Peg; English, KimIn 2015, the Colorado General Assembly passed Senate Bill 15-217 which mandates that state and local law enforcement agencies report specific information to the Division of Criminal Justice (DCJ) in the Department of Public Safety in the event that the agency "employs a peace officer who is involved in an officer-involved shooting that results in a person suspected of criminal activity being shot at by the officer."1 S.B.15-217 mandates DCJ to analyze and report the data on an annual basis.
