The GIS Division is comprised of professionally trained GIS personnel that assist City and County of Broomfield departments in the collection, storage and maintenance of these integral datasets and provide mapping and analysis support in the form of verbal, hard copy and digital land-based information to the general public, city and county staff and other government entities.
