FBI - Denver

Your FBI is working with our partners to crush violent crime and target those spreading deadly drugs. This is some of what FBI Denver and our task force officers seized last week in Aurora:
• 7.5 ounces of fentanyl powder (210 grams)
• 22,225 fentanyl pills (2.2 kilos)
• $6,000

Two were arrested, and the community is safer. Partnerships + Collaboration = Results

SAC Koldjeski welcomed participants to a tabletop exercise that prepares local, state & federal partners for a response to a radiological or nuclear incident. In addition to FBI – Federal Bureau of Investigation, event sponsors were Colorado State University, National Nuclear Security Administration and U.S. Department of Energy. Preparing together ensures we will be ready when the call comes to take action to keep our communities safe.

"Trainings like these help us identify the gaps, and they help us work out the kinks. They allow us to understand the resources and processes each of us as stakeholders brings to the table," she said. "And ultimately, they help us work better together to protect and support our community."
