Owens Early Criminal Justice Fellowship
Named in honor of former Governor Bill Owens and Denver District Attorney Norm Early, the Fellowship will focus on understanding the full economic and fiscal ramifications of policy choices in the areas of public safety and criminal justice.
Throughout his tenure in office, Governor Owens established a legacy of public safety and strived to make Colorado a safer place for our families and a less inviting place for predatory criminals. "The first priority of government is the safety of our citizens,” said Owens.
Likewise, DA Norm Early, Denver’s first Black district attorney was a champion for victim’s rights and largely credited with cleaning up the streets of Denver in the 1980s.
CSI Fellowships represent a diversity of opinions from both sides of the political aisle, all parts of the state and unique points of view.
Selected fellows will develop original research and analysis to fulfill CSI’s mission of delivering facts and data to better understand the policy challenges facing our state.
