2021 Colorado Code|Title 24 - Government - State|Article 33.5 - Public Safety|Part 16 - Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management|§ 24-33.5-1601. Legislative Declaration

  The general assembly hereby finds and declares that:   The threat of terrorism in Colorado is a matter of great concern to the people of the state and affects the public interest. Therefore, this part 16 is enacted for the purpose of protecting the health, peace, safety, and welfare of the people of this state.    The terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, in New York, Washington, D.C., and Pennsylvania, along with the subsequent sending of anthrax through the mail, the previous attempt to destroy the world trade center, and the bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah federal building in Oklahoma City, and the arson attacks in Vail, Colorado, demonstrate that no part of the United States is immune from the threat of terrorism;    Responsible public agencies must anticipate and protect against new forms of terrorism, including suicide hijacking, use of biological toxins and hazardous materials, arson, and sabotage of telecommunications networks, the food and water supply, and other critical infrastructure;    In response to the threat of terrorism, the federal government and several state governments are creating specialized agencies to coordinate efforts to prevent, protect against, respond to, recover from, and prosecute acts of terrorism. Colorado currently has no such agency, and few of Colorado's criminal laws address terrorism specifically.    In 2005, hurricane Katrina emphasized and reinforced the importance of robust emergency management systems and the need for an all-hazards approach to homeland security, increased autonomy, and responsibility for emergency management;    Coordination across disciplines, among levels of government, and with private and nongovernmental sectors is the best way to ensure that government can deliver, to the best of its collective ability, the most effective and efficient services regardless of the cause of any disaster;    A state agency should be established to coordinate Colorado's response to the threat of terrorism and other threats; facilitate tribal, state, local, and regional homeland security activities; direct homeland security-related federal funding to local governments; and share homeland security information among entities participating in homeland security activities.

  The general assembly recognizes the significant consequences of identity theft and financial fraud crimes on Colorado citizens and businesses. The consequences suffered by Colorado citizens and businesses include the trauma of recovering stolen identities and repairing related damage to personal finances; the direct and indirect financial costs to various victims, consumers, and businesses; the time dedicated to guarding against and resolving such crimes; and the overall economic impact of such crimes.    The general assembly recognizes the limited resources of local law enforcement agencies, district attorneys, and the attorney general. It is the intent of the Colorado general assembly to protect Colorado citizens and businesses by enhancing the investigation and prosecution of identity theft and financial fraud crimes by establishing a statewide resource in the form of a unit comprised of attorneys, investigators, and support staff to assist the attorney general, sheriffs, police, and district attorneys in investigating and prosecuting criminals who commit identity theft and financial fraud crimes.    It is the intent of the general assembly to supplement the existing law enforcement and prosecution system and provide greater flexibility to respond to the shifting aspects of identity theft and financial fraud crimes and priorities among such crimes. The unit will also provide to the public and relevant groups appropriate information about financial fraud and the unit's activities and results. It is further the intent of the general assembly that the unit will focus its attention on criminal activity involving financial transactions, including but not limited to the types of crime covered under article 5 of title 18, C.R.S.; modifications to these and other relevant crimes; new crimes as they evolve from time to time; and suspicious activity reports required by federal law to be filed by depository institutions.
