A former police chief and U.S. Marine Corps Reserves colonel who served in combat positions in Iraq and Kosovo has been tapped to lead Colorado’s Marijuana Enforcement Division, the Denver Post reported.
Jim Burack, who also spent 12 years as the police chief of Milliken, Colorado, takes the job after serving in the Marijuana Enforcement Division for about two years, most recently as its chief of investigations.
The Marijuana Enforcement Division is part of the Colorado Department of Revenue and is responsible for licensing and regulating the state’s cannabis industry. It also implements legislation, develops rules and enforces compliance mandates.
