Ah, yes- Morrison and its PD

[Martinjmpr]

IIRC Morrison hasn't even had a PD for that long. I know in the 80's all they had was a "town marshal."

Funny story: The town marshal had the legal authority (apparently) to appoint unpaid "deputies" who were then technically sworn LEOs (albeit without POST certification.) I know this because from 83 to 85 I worked for Johns-Manville in-house security and several of the supervisors on the security force became buddy-buddy with the Morrison Marshal and he "deputized" them so they could CCW (this was obviously long before our current CCW system.) The supervisors would actually brag about it and show their Morrison Commission Cards to some of us.

I think after a lot of abuses (ya think?) that authority was taken away from him. It must have been about this time CO started requiring POST certification for all sworn LEOs.

Morrison's PD sounds like Mountain View, a department that only exists to write tickets.

Whatever happened to Mountain View PD? Is it still around?

Interesting that it only shows a chief of police.

For some reason I thought there was talk of disbanding the MVPD and handing their duties over to Denver or Adams County?
