DENVER (KDVR) -- Boulder is launching an alternative response pilot program to dispatch resources for dispatcher-triaged 911 and non-emergency line calls that don't require police responses. Community Assistance Response and Engagement is part of the city of Boulder's effort to create alternatives to police responses for 911 calls that are not criminal, don't present safety concerns and may be more appropriately addressed by healthcare or behavioral health professionals, the city announced on Monday. Neighbors react to apartment shooting that left 1 dead, 1 hospitalized The idea isn't a new one, but it may have been spurred by events from Colorado, such as the case of Christian Glass. When the young man refused to get out of his car while having what appeared to be a mental health crisis, officers resorted to force to get him out, leading to Glass' death and criminal charges against officers on-scene.As part of a $19 million settlement with Glass’ parents, Colorado’s Clear C...EMT testifies Elijah McClain's vital signs were not taken by paramedics

So much for the “December Doldrums” (meaning dry and quiet weather). Instead, south Florida is in a progressive pattern. For the time being, there’s some slight cooling behind a front. The boundary actually crossed early Monday morning. Temperatures are running below average for a change and, yes, it feels much cooler than we were over the weekend. Sometimes, following a front, our local skies clear out nicely. Not this time. There’s a large fetch of clouds streaming into the region and that’s not going to change anytime soon. Those clouds are arriving from the upper levels (high in the sky). Also, lower variety banks of clouds will likely fill-in by way of the ocean waters. Perhaps the best way to sum up the next few days will be gloomy and unsettled. Stronger winds are in the forecast, beginning Tuesday, as gusts will be up to 35 mph. More gusty days will follow, taking us all the way through the rest of the week! Finally, we’re wa...Police search for man accused of robbing pricey item from shopper at Fort Lauderdale Target

An item was swiped in seconds from someone’s shopping cart at a Target in Fort Lauderdale— and what was ripped away wasn’t cheap. A $1,500 one-wheel was robbed from a shopper outside of the store in Coral Ridge Mall along Oakland Park and U.S. 1.The victim said he believed that because of his white hair, the suspect would think he was an easy target. “When I got there, I’ve got me a shopping cart and I put the one-wheel on top,” said the 68-year-old victim Vincent Odeh. Surveillance footage caught the robber following behind Odeh with his cart just after 5 p.m. right before he struck. “I’m pushing it and I’m almost inside and all of a sudden this guy comes up from behind me and grabs it and I thought it was a friend playing you know, doing a joke on me or something,” said Odeh. “I looked at him and said ‘Oh I don’t know this guy.”The robber grabs the item and runs to his getaway car, a four-door white seda...Florida school grades are released.
