Commissioners Call for Strengthened Community Immigrant Protections — Hygiene Area

The Boulder County Board of Commissioners has issued a resolution reaffirming the county’s commitment to protecting immigrant community members and ensuring equal access to county services regardless of immigration status. The resolution directs county staff to review and strengthen existing policies.

Safety data from the Superior area shows 36 reported incidents in the past 12 months, a 14% change from the previous year. The Sheriff’s Office has increased patrols along Nelson Road and added community outreach programs in response to resident feedback.

The Superior Senior Center offers related programming including free legal consultations, tax preparation assistance, health screenings, and social activities. Over 2,707 seniors participated in center programs last year.

How to Participate
