“The officer who told Kaylee's mother she was too old didn't know which alert applied. That's not an indictment on the officer. It's an indictment on the system that never required them to know. Part one of this bill closes that gap. It requires every peace officer seeking certification in Colorado to be trained on every missing person alert, all of them. So that no officer, again, is unsure if or which alert applies. So that no mother's ever told her daughter's too old. That's Kaylee's fix.”
