Building safer communities, one skill at a time.
Colorado Cares for Safety delivers free firearm safety education, secure storage, conflict de-escalation, and emergency medical response training to residents across Colorado.
To create safer Colorado communities through education, empowerment, and access to life-saving resources — offering free firearm safety training, secure storage solutions, de-escalation techniques, and emergency medical skills to all residents.
We believe safety transcends politics. It's a universal value shared by gun owners and non-owners, urban and rural residents, young and old — and it's something every Colorado community deserves free access to.
Safety First
Prioritizing evidence-based practices that protect lives.
Accessibility
Removing financial barriers to critical safety education.
Community Empowerment
Building capacity within communities to address their own safety needs.
Evidence-Based Practice
Following proven models and national training standards.
Five integrated paths to a safer Colorado.
Firearm Safety Education
Comprehensive training on safe handling, storage, and legal responsibility — built for new owners, families, and anyone with a firearm in the home.
Free Secure Storage Distribution
Cable locks, vehicle storage boxes, and transport cases distributed at no cost, with hands-on installation support.
De-Escalation & Conflict Resolution
Practical skills to recognize rising tension and defuse conflict before it turns dangerous.
Situational Awareness Training
Building the observation and decision-making skills to recognize and avoid dangerous situations.
Emergency Medical Response
Stop the Bleed and basic trauma care certification — giving bystanders the skills to save a life before EMS arrives.
Colorado's safety gap, by the numbers.
Colorado does not require safety training for firearm purchases, and cost remains a real barrier to secure storage. Our five-year goal closes that gap statewide.
