Bicycles and the Road
Did you know Per Colorado Revised Statute 42-2-1412, bicyclists must follow the same rules as a vehicle including stopping at stop signs?
There has been some confusion about the point system for bicycle riders. Bicycle riders who receive a citation for any violation are required to pay the same fine and fees as a person driving a motor vehicle but are assessed no points against their license.

The simple act of buckling up can prevent nearly 50% of all automobile deaths. More than 75% of people who are ejected during a fatal crash die from their critical injuries. Only 1% of passengers who were wearing a seat belt were ejected from a car during a crash.

The Paonia Police Department does not provide fingerprint card services for civilians needing them for employment and/or background checks anymore.
Effective September 24, 2018, the Colorado Bureau of Investigation (CBI) implemented the Colorado Applicant Background Services (CABS) program in response to Senate Bill 17-189.  This program moves fingerprinting services away from law enforcement agencies to certified vendors around the state.
If you are needing fingerprints, please go to www.identogo.com to schedule an appointment.
