Commerce City fourth agency to join Blue Envelope Program
DENVER (KDVR) — The Blue Envelope Program is spreading across Colorado faster than a bad rumor.
The Commerce City Police Department announced they will become the fourth and latest law enforcement agency to join the Blue Envelope Program in a social media post on Saturday.
The program idea was brought home to Colorado by a Boulder police officer who was out of state training at a conference.
The Boulder Police Department announced it would use the program at the beginning of the year and the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office and Boulder County Sheriff's Office also joined in the last few weeks.
Boulder County Sheriff's Office latest to join Blue Envelope Program
The program allows people with speaking, cognitive, neurological and other 'invisible disabilities' to provide information in the envelope that can help law enforcement and first responders understand the accommodations the participant may need.
Information can include identifying documents, descriptions of the disability or ways to help in the event of an emergency.
Participants can also use program identifiers like keychains, bumperstickers and lanyards to alert that they are part of the Blue Envelope Program.
Law enforcement and first responders also ask that participants, if able to, alert the responding party that the blue envelope will be presented to them.
Blue envelopes can be picked up at the Civic Center in the lobby at the 'Records' window.
The program is free to use and no signup is required.

Lakewood named ‘climate action leader' for second straight year
DENVER (KDVR) — Lakewood has been named a 'climate action leader' for the second straight year, for its work on 'sustainability, climate change, resiliency and environmental transparency,' according to the city. Lakewood is one of 112 cities globally and 29 in the United States to earn a spot on the 2024 CDP A list. To be on the environmental disclosure system's A list, a city must publicly disclose its efforts through the climate reporting platform CDP-ICLEI Track and meet 'rigorous' criteria, the city said. Most of 16th Street reopens in $175M construction project. Here's what locals think 'I am extremely proud that Lakewood is among this prestigious list for the second consecutive year,' Lakewood Mayor Wendi Strom said in a statement. 'It highlights the depth of our commitment to ensuring that sustainability plays a central role in Lakewood's ongoing story.' In order to earn a spot on the A list, the city said it had to have a citywide emissions inventory, a climate risk and vulnerability assessment and a published climate action plan. The city listed recent climate-related projects in Lakewood, including: Assessed 10 climate-related hazards and identified top priorities, including hailstorms, extreme heat, extreme cold, flooding and wildfires. Designing and constructing its first on-site solar installation at the Whitlock Recreation Center. Updated a communitywide inventory and created a municipal GHG emissions inventory, which will 'provide a baseline' for future decarbonization. Maintained the city's sustainable development standards, which have been in place since 2019 and were last updated in 2022. How much of Xcel Energy's power is renewable? Colorado Gov. Jared Polis recognized Lakewood last month while touting the state's own inclusion on the 2024 CDP A list. Colorado was joined by California as the only two U.S. states to make the list. In addition to Lakewood, Aspen, Boulder, Denver and Fort Collins also made this year's cut. More information about Lakewood's sustainability efforts can be found on the city's website.

Executive order ending ban on supersonic air travel in US could aid Colorado company
DENVER (KDVR) — An executive order signed by President Donald Trump on Friday could mean a Colorado supersonic jet company will be able to use its commercial supersonic jet sooner rather than later. The order, called Leading the World in Supersonic Flight, directs the Federal Aviation Administration to lift a 50-year regulation preventing supersonic flight over U.S. land. Denver based company becomes part of history, first civil engineered jet hits supersonic speed 'Advances in aerospace engineering, materials science, and noise reduction now make supersonic flight not just possible, but safe, sustainable, and commercially viable,' Trump claimed in his executive order. Based out of Centennial, Boom Supersonic is attempting to create the world's fastest airliner and has a jet that reached supersonic speeds while testing earlier this year in California. 'XB-1's supersonic flight demonstrates that the technology for passenger supersonic flight has arrived,' said Boom Supersonic founder and CEO Blake Scholl in a January release. 'A small band of talented and dedicated engineers has accomplished what previously took governments and billions of dollars. Next, we are scaling up the technology on XB-1 for the Overture supersonic airliner. Our ultimate goal is to bring the benefits of supersonic flight to everyone.' Boom Supersonic says the plane would be able to fly from New York to Los Angeles in three hours, without a sonic boom. The company hopes to have passengers flying commercially by 2029. The FAA has 180 days to create new noise standards allowing overland supersonic flights. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
