Judges
We shine a light on rulings, sentences, and release decisions so voters have the facts they need when judges stand for retention.
Restoring public safety for Colorado families.
Law and Order Action is dedicated to holding pro-crime judges, DAs, and lawmakers accountable and restoring public safety for Colorado families.
Accountability where it counts
The decisions that shape public safety are made in courtrooms, prosecutors’ offices, and the State Capitol. We make sure Colorado families know who is keeping them safe and who isn’t.
District attorneys
We track how DAs charge and prosecute serious crime, and we hold them to their duty to protect victims and communities.
Lawmakers
We follow the bills that affect public safety at the Capitol, stand with legislators who put victims first, and oppose policies that put neighborhoods at risk.

Leadership
Johnnie Turnidge brings more than 26 years on the front lines of law enforcement to his new role as Executive Director of Law and Order Action and the Colorado Center for Law and Order. His mission: strengthen public safety, champion law enforcement, and ensure victims have a powerful voice.
A veteran of the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office and Englewood Police Department, Turnidge built his career confronting violent crime, protecting children, and leading officers through dangerous situations. He served 16 years as a SWAT operator and team leader and supervised investigations involving homicide, sexual assault, child exploitation, and other major crimes.
Rising to lieutenant, Turnidge oversaw investigative operations and coordinated a critical incident response team spanning multiple agencies. His leadership combines operational experience with a commitment to accountability, training, and service to the community.
His service earned the Meritorious Service Medal and Medal of Distinction. Through leadership with the Fraternal Order of Police, he brings experience engaging policymakers on issues affecting officers and public safety.
Now, Turnidge brings that experience to a statewide mission: advancing policies that protect families, support those who wear the badge, and hold offenders accountable. He understands what is at stake because he has spent his career standing between danger and community.
