Have you ever wondered what the Colorado Bureau of Investigation does? Susan Medina, the Communications Director for the Bureau, will present an overview of the CBI operations, from Investigations to the Lab to the comprehensive criminal justice information section. Susan is confident she has the coolest job in the universe as the spokesperson for the Bureau. Join us to learn the CBI’s story and bring any questions you might have about the CBI, law enforcement communications, and/or what it’s like to be a first responder to major school shootings.

A native of Colorado, Susan Medina has worked in the law enforcement communications field for more than 20 years. Following an extensive career as the spokesperson with the Arvada Police Department, she joined the Colorado Bureau of Investigation in 2012. As the Communications Director for the Bureau, she addresses hundreds of media calls each year, along with oversite of the Bureau’s web and social media sites and internal communications. Her passion is to provide support to agents and local law enforcement in the field. She has responded to numerous major crime scenes during her career, including the shootings at Columbine and Platte Canyon high schools and the Youth With a Mission mass shooting. When she’s not in the office at CBI headquarters in Lakewood, or her “mobile” office at her kids’ baseball and softball games, she enjoys watching and playing sports. She makes a mean marinara and meatballs; she’s an alum of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (Go Big Red!), and she comes from a family of famous (or infamous) people from a stuntman for Hopalong Cassidy to the father of the television.
