Guanella Pass is a popular drive in Clear Creek County where people can view the changing Aspen leaves along the side of the road. With a small window of time to view leaves, the pass can get congested on the weekends with lots of eager leaf-peepers ready with their cameras.

Crisis Intervention Clear Creek County has been under recent scrutiny for the killing of Christian Glass in June. County Commissioners took time on Oct. 4 to discuss the possibility of convening a task force with multiple stakeholders throughout the county focused on crisis intervention resources for first responders. Commissioners discussed the possibility of a co-responder program, which would allow behavioral health specialists to work with law enforcement to handle situations involving mental health. Sheriff Rick Albers brought a stack of papers to the meeting detailing all of the training his officers have been through and said the problem he sees is not the lack of training but lack of retention. In recent years, Albers has seen a high amount of turnover and being able to retrain new hires is hard to keep up with. He suggested an outside agency working with first responders, which would ensure properly trained individuals were always available. “It would be very, very beneficial if we did a task force,” Albers said.
