Attorney, stated Ms. Haffner transferred before he took office; however, her reputation has remained as
an individual who did a great job with the Juvenile Diversion Program. He explained the Program takes
young individuals who have not become hardened criminals and strives to give them a chance to make
good decisions and stay out of the judicial system. He stated Ms. Haffner's success rate was very high,
and Weld County now enjoys a lower adult crime rate as a result of her previous work. Ms. Haffner stated
the past 23 years have gone by very quickly, she has appreciated the opportunity to work at Weld County,
and she has learned a lot while working in both Departments. Commissioners Conway and Rademacher
