PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
A prosecutor, not a politician
Over the past two decades, Dawn Downs has built an impressive record of leadership in criminal justice. After more than 14 years at the District Attorney's Office for the Eighth Judicial District, she now serves as Senior Assistant City Attorney and Section Leader for the Public Safety and Prosecution Section in the City of Fort Collins. In her role with the City, she is able to continue to pursue her passion for public safety and prosecution as the legal advisor for Fort Collins Police Services, Emergency Management, Code Enforcement, and Supervisor of the Municipal Prosecution team.
Major initiatives in recent years include:
2019: Dawn created the Criminal Impact Team with local law enforcement agencies
This team focuses on the investigation and prosecution of violent crime, including gang-related activity and organized crime organizations. Dawn served as the gang liaison for law enforcement for several years.
2021: Dawn co-founded the Larimer County Threat Assessment Group
This group focuses on early identification of individuals and groups who pose a potential threat to their community. Its goal involves early intervention prior to a major criminal incident or involvement in the criminal justice system.
2021: Dawn re-established the Larimer County Economic Crime Task Force
This task force focuses on white-collar crime and fraudulent criminal organizations, which have a damaging impact on our local economy, businesses, and residents.
2022: Dawn organized local resources to streamline overdose death investigations
Following recent legislation to prosecute Distribution of Fentanyl Causing Death, Dawn organized a multi-agency effort between law enforcement, the coroner's office, and prosecutors to create a streamlined approach for responding to overdose death cases. Since the legislation passed in 2022, law enforcement in the Eighth Judicial District have filed three Distribution Causing Death cases - the most in the state - using the organized team approach that Dawn helped create.
