ABOUT

The I-70 West Training Region was developed as one of ten POST grant training regions throughout Colorado.  The I-70 West Training Region is responsible for applying training and equipment funds on behalf of the law enforcement agencies within the I-70 West Training Region.  The region membership includes all law enforcement agencies and active peace officers in Rio Blanco, Garfield, Pitkin, Lake, Eagle, and Summit counties. 

​Allowable expenses for POST Grant funds include travel costs for peace officers attending official training, back fill, instructor fees, training supplies, and approved equipment supplies. Please visit the Colorado POST Grants page for more information on the regional grant program.

Agency Representatives

Each agency in the I-70 West Region is represented by one or more "Agency Representatives."  Agency representatives may be peace officers or civilian personnel in their agency. The agency representative is typically the training manager or agency executive.   The agency representatives often attend board meetings, participate in training and equipment needs discussions, and are the liaison between their agency and the I-70 West Training Region. 

Grant Coordination (Program Delivery & Grant Management).

The POST Grant also provides for program delivery and grant management funds to the fiscal agency.  These funds are crucial to the fiscal agency to manage the grant.  The Snowmass Village Police Department contracts with a grant manager to provide necessary program delivery and grant management.  The grant manager coordinates board meetings, scholarships awards, meeting minutes, bylaws, program guidelines, training registration, training marketing, and website management.
