| Abstract | T he Colorado State Patrol (CSP) has recently increased investments to attract, select, and train highly qualified troopers. An important component of these efforts is to increase the demographic composition of CSP to better reflect the communities it serves. Achieving these goals can be challenging because the levels of interest and qualifications required to serve in law enforcement, and specifically as a state trooper, may not be equally distributed across the state. Furthermore, the strategies used to meet these goals must adhere to equal opportunity laws to ensure legal compliance and a fair selection process. Despite these difficulties, CSP’s 2019–2023 Strategic Plan emphasizes its continued commitment to these objectives. For example, one component of the four strategic goals reads, “Building upon recent incremental success, continue recruiting and hiring practices that strive to provide a more diverse pool of eligible applicants.”1 To assist the state of Colorado in addressing these challenges, CSP asked RAND Justice Policy to partner for a Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) Field-Initiated Law Enforcement Microgrant in the domain of officer recruitment.
