—Website maintains certification records for
13,000 active and reserve officers—
Leading international interactive media awards competition, the
Horizon Interactive Awards (HIA), has selected its 2018 “best of
the best” in interactive media production. This year’s honors
include the Criminal Justice Section of the Colorado Attorney
General’s Office Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST)
website. HIA named the website as a bronze winner for outstanding
achievement in government agency websites.
“We are excited to receive this recognition,” said Peter Bates,
CIO at the Colorado Department of Law. “We thank the team for their
effort to promote the important work the Attorney General’s Police
Officers Standards and Training unit performs in support of
Colorado law enforcement agencies.”
Under the State of Colorado Attorney General, POST is a
regulatory agency that establishes certification and training
requirements for law enforcement agencies and officers. The
agency’s website (https://www.colorado.gov/post) serves as the
primary source of information for Colorado’s 10 training regions,
law enforcement agencies, police officers and potential candidates
by:
- Maintaining certification records for
13,000 active and reserve peace officers.
- Defining the training curriculum for
548 hours required for certification.
- Keeping users up-to-date on legislation
pertaining to mandated law enforcement trainings as well as
emerging issues such as DNA evidence collection and marijuana
regulation.
- Making users aware of compliance
requirements so they don’t incur sanctions for non-compliance.
“We’re proud that the work of our partners in the Criminal
Justice Section was honored with a Horizon Interactive Award,” said
Colorado Interactive (CI) President and General Manager, Mike
Ansley. “Whether it’s officers in need of certification
requirements or our state’s training regions seeking information on
emerging issues, the POST website is their reliable go-to
resource.”
In its 17th year, HIA is a prestigious worldwide competition
recognizing outstanding achievement among interactive media
producers. Awards recognize the best web sites, videos, mobile
applications and advertising. The 2018 competition attracted 800
entries spanning 37 U.S. states and 20 countries. A volunteer panel
of international professionals representing interactive media and
advertising judged the entries. Judges looked for the best blend of
originality, graphic design, user experience, communication,
technical merit and solution effectiveness.
"The excellent set-up and easy-to-use navigation of the Colorado
POST site makes it a secure and quick stop for our Peace Officers
to complete documentation and get information," said the Statewide
Internet Portal Authority’s (SIPA) Executive Director, Jack
Arrowsmith. "A well-deserved award for an innovative and
resourceful tool."
The Criminal Justice Section of the Colorado Attorney General’s
Office enlisted the services of CI and SIPA for the website
redesign. CI provides digital government services to state
agencies, local governments and educational entities through a
contract with SIPA—the official internet portal connecting the
public with Colorado government. The partnership’s mission allows
government leaders to focus on delivering on-demand, digital
government solutions without requests for proposals or the use of
tax appropriations. The CI/SIPA partnership has benefited more than
40 state-department programs.
