Here is the agenda in case any of you are interested in attending ( click here ). No Lunch and Learn training will be provided as this meeting, but please look for one in August if you are interested. Please note that the July DVOMB meeting has been cancelled.  

 

DVOMB On the Road Board Meeting - September 8, 2017

 

The DVOMB is headed to Gunnison in September of this year, so please mark your calendars. The meeting is part of the DVOMB's annual meeting on the road that is held in a different location, outside of the Denver Metro Area. This gives the Board the chance to connect with and hear from community stakeholders who may be unable to attend the monthly meeting, and an opportunity to share successes and challenges that exist in rural or other parts of the state. Details are still to come and will be advertise once finalized.

Website Transition

The DVOMB has a new website! The new site has launched and aims to be more user-focused, easier to navigate, and more consistent with the look and feel of the Department of Public Safety and the State of Colorado. You can find the new site at:

 

https://www.colorado.gov/pacific/dcj/domestic-violence-offender-management

 

Bookmarks and links to the old site will now redirect to the new home page. Additionally, the old website will no longer be maintained and will be shut down in the near future. We know it can be frustrating when things change or move around, so we wanted to share a few quick tips we hope you'll find helpful:

 

 

If you have any problems, please don't hesitate to contact the DVOMB staff. We also welcome your feedback as we continue to improve the site.

 

Thank you!
