Denver Urban Area Security Initiative

As a response to the terrorist attacks of September 11th, federal, state and local governments have made equipping and training first responders a top priority. In 2003, Denver was selected to receive grant funding for the Denver Urban Area. The following cities, counties and fire protection districts are partners in the Denver Urban Area Security Initiative:

Adams County
Arapahoe County
Jefferson County
City of Aurora
City of Arvada
City of Cherry Hills Village
City and County of Denver
City of Sheridan

City of Commerce City
City of Englewood
City of Glendale
City of Greenwood Village
City of Lakewood
City of Littleton
City of Wheat Ridge

Arvada Fire Protection District
Cunningham Fire Protection District
Greater Brighton Fire Protection District
Littleton Fire Protection District
North Washington Fire Protection District
South Adams Fire Protection District
South Metro Fire Protection District
Southwest Adams Fire Protection District
West Metro Fire Protection District

The training offered through the initiative is available to both Urban Area Security Initiative (UASI) and North Central Region (NCR) partners on a priority basis with additional class vacancies open to other Colorado agencies. Backfill or overtime funding is only available to first responders in the identified UASI jurisdictions, as determined by the Training Committee on behalf of the Urban Area Working and Leadership Groups. UASI first responders should contact their agency administrators to ensure that backfill funding is available and has been approved prior to signing up for any class that will require this funding. Where no backfill or overtime funding is needed, employees, with approval from their coordinators, can sign up for any discipline appropriate courses.
