GRAND JUNCTION, Colorado — More than 2,000 wanted felons from western Colorado are the focus of a new Colorado Fugitive Task Force, authorities said Wednesday.

At least half of those felony fugitives are from Garfield, Mesa and Eagle counties. Another 15,305 fugitives from western Colorado are wanted on misdemeanor charges.

To improve the chances of capturing people with outstanding warrants, the Colorado Bureau of Investigation convened the task force. It consists of 45 local, state and federal agencies with jurisdictional authority in 13 western Colorado counties.

Grand Junction Police Chief John Camper said the new task force will allow agencies to share leads and tips in an organized fashion. The bureau, he said, will serve as a “central clearing house,” for intelligence gathered. The intelligence will be distributed to partner law enforcement agencies.
