LEARN MORE ABOUT MESA COUNTY JURISDICTIONS
As a journalist, it's essential to gather accurate, timely and relevant information to report to Mesa County residents. To do that, one must quickly gather both facts and footage that captures the attention of viewers and tells the story of the presenting organization. However, gathering the facts from the correct agency can be challenging given the many agencies and jurisdictions that lie within Mesa County.
We encourage all new reporters and journalists to familiarize themselves with Mesa County jurisdictions as the Public Information Officer (PIO) contact is different for each organization.
