Statement from President Joe Biden on the launch of the National Law Enforcement Accountability Database: “As part of my Administration’s executive order on policing, we committed to create a first of its kind database to track records of law enforcement misconduct so that agencies are able to hire the best personnel. Today, I am fulfilling that promise by launching the National Law Enforcement Accountability Database. This database will ensure that records of serious misconduct by federal law enforcement officers are readily available to agencies considering hiring those officers. We are also working to allow and encourage state, Tribal, local, and territorial law enforcement agencies to make available and access similar records as part of their hiring processes.”

Denver Mayor
Denver International Airport (DEN) held a groundbreaking ceremony earlier today for the Center of Equity and Excellence in Aviation (CEEA). The first-of-its-kind training center will help create a pipeline of aviation talent for our entire community in Denver and the aviation industry with a concentration on under-represented communities, historically underutilized business, people of color and women. CEEA fosters building generational wealth, establishing career pathways in the aviation industry, and serves as an innovation hub that will influence our global community. “DEN continues to play a vital role in driving the economic growth of the Rocky Mountain region, generating over 36 billion for Colorado’s economy and supporting over 220,000 jobs,” Denver Mayor Mike Johnston said.
