Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 16:18:09 GMT

DENVER (KDVR) -- Boulder is launching an alternative response pilot program to dispatch resources for dispatcher-triaged 911 and non-emergency line calls that don't require police responses. Community Assistance Response and Engagement is part of the city of Boulder's effort to create alternatives to police responses for 911 calls that are not criminal, don't present safety concerns and may be more appropriately addressed by healthcare or behavioral health professionals, the city announced on Monday. Neighbors react to apartment shooting that left 1 dead, 1 hospitalized The idea isn't a new one, but it may have been spurred by events from Colorado, such as the case of Christian Glass. When the young man refused to get out of his car while having what appeared to be a mental health crisis, officers resorted to force to get him out, leading to Glass' death and criminal charges against officers on-scene.As part of a $19 million settlement with Glass’ parents, Colorado’s Clear C...

Rapid Changes

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 16:18:09 GMT

So much for the “December Doldrums” (meaning dry and quiet weather). Instead, south Florida is in a progressive pattern. For the time being, there’s some slight cooling behind a front. The boundary actually crossed early Monday morning. Temperatures are running below average for a change and, yes, it feels much cooler than we were over the weekend. Sometimes, following a front, our local skies clear out nicely. Not this time. There’s a large fetch of clouds streaming into the region and that’s not going to change anytime soon. Those clouds are arriving from the upper levels (high in the sky). Also, lower variety banks of clouds will likely fill-in by way of the ocean waters. Perhaps the best way to sum up the next few days will be gloomy and unsettled. Stronger winds are in the forecast, beginning Tuesday, as gusts will be up to 35 mph. More gusty days will follow, taking us all the way through the rest of the week! Finally, we’re wa...

PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — A tissue sample from the brain of a gunman who killed 18 people and injured 13 others in Maine has been sent to a lab in Massachusetts to be examined for signs of injury or trauma related to his service in the Army Reserves, officials said Monday.The state’s chief medical examiner wants to know if a brain injury stemming from 40-year-old Robert Card’s military service could have contributed to unusual behavior he exhibited leading up to the Oct. 25 shootings at a bowling alley and at a bar in Lewiston .A spokesperson for the medical examiner’s office characterized the extra step as a matter of thoroughness “due to the combined history of military experience and actions.”“In an event such as this, people are left with more questions than answers. It is our belief that if we can conduct testing (in-house or outsourced) that may shed light on some of those answers, we have a responsibility to do that,” Lindsey Chasteen, offic...
