The DSD proudly joined Colorado law enforcement partners at the annual Special Olympics Colorado 2026 Tribute at the Capitol. We were thrilled by the strong turnout, especially as Academy Class 2026‑2 participated in the race, made possible thanks to a generous sponsorship from the Black Sheriff's Protective Association (BSPA). The Law Enforcement Torch Run (LETR) event continues to be a powerful celebration of inclusion, unity, and support for the more than 30,000 Special Olympics Colorado athletes and we are honored to participate.

Right before summer break... so much fun!
Mayor Mike Johnston, Denver Department of Public Safety Executive Director Al Gardner, Denver Sheriff Elias Diggins, and so many others were in attendance at the DSD Annual Memorial Ceremony. To keep everyone safe and sound, K9 Gage did a preliminary sweep! 💙🐕🦺
Congratulations to the Class of 2026-1! We are so proud to welcome them into the DSD family. Please help us by wishing them well on this new adventure!

Wishing you a meaningful Memorial Day as we pause to remember and honor those who gave their lives for our freedom.
