and simulations, learn advanced handgun basics, spend time on the range to work on marksmanship and tactical skills and complete the Colorado POST qualification in handgun proficiency test, according to the website. The armed teacher training program must be authorized by the RE-8 school board before it can be offered in the district, according to Carno’s presentation.
Brighton leaders are fine expanding their current Victim Services program — which provides counseling and other services for crime victims — to include Fort Lupton and Lochbuie. “Well, that’s a great idea,” Brighton Councilor Mary Ellen Pollack said during the City Council’s Oct. 11 study session meeting. “They are our neighbors and I think that the way times are now — we all know that it’s not pretty out there — and we can help them and they can help us. You never do know when we are going to have a real big emergency and it will take more than one department to deal with it.” Colorado municipalities are required to provide some level of victim rights services.

“This is my first week on the job, and so excited to be back here in Brighton,” said Robin Martinez, Brighton’s economic development president and CEO. “This is a beautiful space that Natalie built out here, and we are excited to partner with them. They’re right across the street from our office. I have a
passion for small business so I can’t wait to see what we can develop together.” The train depot was built in 1908 as a cabbage loading dock on Second Avenue on the west side of the tracks. SEE CUTTING, P7
