A limited supply of COVID-19 vaccines could be distributed in Colorado within a couple of weeks, but it could be months if not a year before everyone who wants the two-shot vaccination can get it.
Colorado has a tentative distribution plan in place once two vaccines receive approval from the Food and Drug Administration under emergency use authorization.
Once those approvals come through, the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines are expected to be available within 24 hours. The U.S. population has been sorted into several groups, 1A, 1B, 2, 3 and 4, each of which will get access to the vaccine in phases.
SB217 also banned chokeholds, required all officers to wear body cameras, and got rid of the “fleeing felon” statute, which allowed officers to shoot a person running away as long as they were suspected of a felony and had a weapon. And now, officers who use deadly force in Colorado must bear the burden of proving that they, or the public, faced an immediate threat. The bill, which received bipartisan support, passed decisively, with Governor Jared Polis signing it into law on June 19, after it was introduced on June 2 by Colorado Representative Leslie Herod and a group of Democratic legislators.

Human trafficking contributes to an industry that although in the shadows continues to be a problem worldwide and in Pueblo.
“The issue with human trafficking is that it is not always super evident, Sgt. Franklyn Ortega said. It’s not like a shooting or other crimes that are real obvious and right in front of your face.
“There’s also times where the victims are trapped in a vicious cycle, Ortega added. With this campaign, we hope to help bring awareness to not only the public, but also the victims.”
Over the past several weeks, the police department has posted and reposted information about the campaign and other graphics concerning awareness about human trafficking.
