City Cast Denver
💰 Why are there so many bank robberies in CO?
December 16, 2024 · — Peyton Garcia
Good morning! Here’s something neat: At City Cast Denver, we’re enthusiastic about our goal to authentically represent the diverse range of people who call the Mile High home in the products we produce. To hold ourselves accountable to that value, we are proud to track and publish general demographic information from our podcast guests and compare it to Denver’s census data so that we (and you!) can see how we’re doing and where we can continue to improve. Check it out! 📊 👀
What's CITY Talking About?
🚔 Who Should Be Allowed to Serve and Protect — And Who Shouldn’t?
In the state of Colorado, convicted felons can’t serve as law enforcement officers. But misdemeanors — even for things like child abuse, animal cruelty, theft, and fraud — don’t disqualify you from the position. Attorney General Phil Weiser wants to change that. [CPR]
🪧 Union Push Advances for Homeless Services Nonprofit
Following a growing trend of local unionization efforts, a group of employees with the Colorado Coalition for the Homeless have formally filed a petition to unionize. Union organizers are optimistic about receiving support from management. [Denverite]
💰 Is Colorado a Bank Robbery Hotspot?
In 2023, Colorado ranked third in the country for bank robberies. So what is the state doing to crack down on this serious and often violent crime? A local FBI agent explains. [City Cast Denver 🎧]
🚲 Yet Another Bike Lane Debate Divides Denverites
Not only do many residents in Denver’s Crestmoor Park community not want new bike lane protection bollards in their neighborhood, they say it will “destroy” the things that make Crestmoor a great place to live. [Denver Gazette 🔒]
