Colorado Department of Public Safety Launches Six New Websites

The Colorado Department of Public Safety, (CDPS) launched new websites for six of their divisions. The new streamlined look provides over 1.7 million yearly visitors with access to these central hubs of augmented information that will change to meet the needs of Colorado communities. All of the new sites can be accessed through CDPS at http://cdpsweb.state.co.us/.

During a four-month implementation, 40 staff members from CDPS divisions transitioned their websites to Colorado Interactive’s Drupal based Pacific platform. The six websites exceed 400 pages of content and contain links to nearly 2,000 documents. Easy navigation, responsive design, and relevant content are some of the key highlights of the new websites. Another key feature is the capability to translate the content in over 50 languages.

“The new websites of the Department of Public Safety will provide the public and our stakeholders with quality information in a user-friendly format,” said Stan Hilkey, executive director for DPS. “Our Web team spent considerable time ensuring the websites will serve as an essential resource for citizens seeking information and services.”

The divisions within CDPS that have launched sites are: Colorado Bureau of Investigation, Colorado State Patrol, Colorado School Safety Resource Center, Colorado Integrated Criminal justice Information System, Colorado Commission on Criminal and Juvenile Justice, and the Office of Research and Statistics.

This work was made possible through the ongoing partnership between CDPS, Colorado Interactive dba Colorado.gov, and the Colorado Statewide Internet Portal Authority (SIPA), who continue to provide no-cost websites for Colorado government.
