Colorado's Proposition 130 proposes $350m in funding for local law enforcement to enhance recruitment, training, and retention.

Proposition 130, set for the November ballot in Colorado, proposes $350 million in funding for local law enforcement to enhance recruitment, training, and retention efforts. This includes salary increases, bonuses, and ongoing training. It also offers a $1 million death benefit for families of officers killed on duty. While supported by Governor Jared Polis for improving safety, the Colorado Fiscal Institute argues the funds could serve better purposes, like education or housing.
