Become a CIAC TLO

The Colorado Information Analysis Center (CIAC) Threat Liaison Officer (TLO) Program is designed to strengthen information sharing and enhance multi-jurisdiction and multidisciplinary partnerships throughout Colorado. The program was developed to provide participants with effective means of information sharing related to local, regional, and global threats, suspicious activity and large-scale incidents. 

A TLO is any law enforcement (sworn or non-sworn), emergency services, military, public health, private, non-profit or other public sector employee who has responsibility within their agency to report and disseminate suspicious activity and/or other threat-related information and has been properly certified through the CIAC TLO training program.
