Programs
The primary purpose and mission of the CSPFF has been to support the surviving family members of fallen Colorado State Patrol Troopers. The CSPFF Board of Trustees broadened its mission and purpose to include the management of numerous safe-diving efforts and to promote public awareness of the needless tragedies that plague young drivers and passengers.
Some of the programs administered and/or supported by the Colorado State Patrol Family Foundation and its staff are:
A four 1/2 hour driver's awareness course developed by the National Safety Council designed for young people aged 14-24, Alive at 25 focuses on the attitudes and behaviors that affect young drivers, and prepares them to deal with dangerous driving habits and situations. In 2006, over 9,000 Colorado youth participated in Alive at 25.
The Colorado State Patrol Family Foundation (CSPFF) has accepted the responsibility of expanding Alive at 25 on a national scale, and is currently supporting the emergence of Alive at 25 programs in several states. We are pleased to collaborate with law enforcement agencies who have dedicated themselves to reducing automobile crashes involving young drivers and passengers. Visit the Alive at 25 site.
The Attitudinal Dynamics of Driving (ADoD)
This 8-hour course is taught by certified law enforcement instructors and is designed for drivers of all ages who wish to improve their skills or have been mandated by the courts to take such a course.
Our goal is to reduce the number of violations, injuries and fatalities associated with automobile crashes. The course includes defensive driving principles and strategies, factors that create risk, recognizing unsafe driving situations, and furthering the understanding that our choices are based on thought and reason. Participants are taught to take responsibility for their behavior and to make the right driving choices. Visit the ADoD site.
The CSP Youth Academy
The goal of the CSP Youth Academy is to assist in the development of future leaders for the state of Colorado. Focus will be on leadership development through team exercises and individual achievement. Cadets will become familiar with the basic elements of the CSP Academy through a demanding daily training schedule.
The CSP Youth Academy will be mentally and physically demanding, and will challenge all participants. The Academy is limited to forty participants selected throughout the state.
The Academy is provided at no cost to the participants. The Academy is made possible through partnerships with local community-minded businesses, organizations, and the Colorado State Patrol. View more information about the Youth Academy.
