October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. ๐Ÿ’œ This month, the Broomfield Police Departmentโ€™s Victim Services Unit wears purple to stand with survivors, raise awareness and reaffirm our commitment to supporting victims of domestic violence.

When someone finds the courage to reach out for help, the first few hoursโ€”and the days that followโ€”can be pivotal. Safety is our number-one priority. Our Victim Services Unit works alongside officers 24 hours a day, seven days a week, to help victims safety-plan, address immediate needs, and connect with resources and support.

But our work goes beyond responding to a crisis. We listen. We meet victims where they are. We provide options, respect their choices, and work at their pace while moving as quickly as necessary to help keep them safe.

Through strong partnerships with local agencies and community organizations, we work to ensure victims don't have to navigate the system alone. From immediate safety needs to long-term housing, advocacy and support, we are committed to making connections, finding solutions and helping survivors take their next steps toward safety and healing.

That is the Broomfield difference. It is our partnerships, our commitment and our willingness to find a way. Above all, it is our promise that when someone in our community reaches out for help, they will know we are hereโ€”and that they do not have to face it alone.

This Domestic Violence Awareness Month, we stand with survivors, honor their strength and remind our community that help is available. ๐Ÿ’œ

Thanks to several alert residents and some quick police work, two suspects are behind bars following a series of events in Broomfield over the weekend!

On Saturday, October 10, just after 9:00 a.m., several community members called 911 to report a red truck driving recklessly near 136th Avenue and Lowell Boulevard. Witnesses reported that the passenger-side window was broken and open containers of alcohol were visible inside the vehicle.

When dispatchers ran the license plate, they discovered the truck had been reported stolen out of Fort Lupton. Meanwhile, more calls started pouring in from residents near Highway 287 and Nickel Street, reporting that the driver had crashed into several vehicles, a fence and playground equipment. By this point, the truck was also missing its front passenger-side tire!

After crashing into the fence, both the driver and passenger took off running and attempted to hide nearby. They didn't get far! Broomfield officers quickly located and arrested both suspects.
The 19-year-old male driver and his 19-year-old male passenger were booked into the Broomfield Detention Center on numerous charges, including Motor Vehicle Theft, DUI, Obstruction and more.

A HUGE THANK YOU to the community members who spoke up and called 911! Your willingness to report dangerous and suspicious activity helped officers locate these suspects and prevent an already dangerous situation from getting worse. *All persons are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

GETTING TO KNOW THE NEXT GENERATION OF LAW ENFORCEMENT PROFESSIONALS! ๐Ÿ‘ฎโ€โ™‚๏ธ

The Broomfield Police Department always enjoys connecting with students who are interested in exploring careers in law enforcement, crime scene investigation, 911 dispatch and more!

Last week, we had the pleasure of welcoming a group of students from Deer Trail High School in eastern Colorado who chose to visit our department for a behind-the-scenes tour and an opportunity to learn more about the many career paths in public safety.

Thank you for making the trip to Broomfield! We loved meeting you and hope to see some familiar faces working in law enforcement in the future! ๐Ÿš” ๐Ÿ‘

Throughout October, the Broomfield Police Department Traffic Unit will be spending extra time patrolling crosswalks throughout Broomfield to help keep pedestrians safe!

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), in 2024, a pedestrian was killed every 74 minutes and another was injured every 7 minutes in traffic crashes across the United States. A few important safety reminders:

๐Ÿšถ ๐๐„๐ƒ๐„๐’๐“๐‘๐ˆ๐€๐๐’:
๐Ÿšถ Stay alert! Don't let a familiar route put you on autopilot. Keep your eyes up, avoid distractions and pay attention to traffic.
๐Ÿšถ Use crosswalks whenever possible, stay visible and continue watching for vehicles until you've safely crossed the street.

๐Ÿš— ๐ƒ๐‘๐ˆ๐•๐„๐‘๐’:
๐Ÿš— Slow down and always watch for pedestrians. Yield at crosswalks as required by law and leave plenty of room so other drivers can see pedestrians, too.
๐Ÿš— Use extra caution at night and during bad weather when pedestrians may be harder to see.
๐Ÿš— Follow posted speed limits, especially in school zones and neighborhoods where children are present.
๐Ÿš— Always check for pedestrians before backing up.

Whether you're walking or driving, staying alert and following the rules of the road can help prevent serious injuries and save lives.

DID YOU KNOW? Broomfield is both a city AND a county!

That means the Broomfield Police Department has some unique responsibilities beyond traditional police services. In addition to overseeing police operations, Chief Hempelmann is also responsible for the Broomfield Detention Center and other county-related functions.

Where is the jail? You might be surprised to learn that the Broomfield Detention Center isn't located at Police Department headquarters! It's actually about 15 minutes away at 11600 Ridge Parkway, near W. 120th Avenue and Simms Street.

The department also has a dedicated Transport Unit, which plays an important role in the criminal justice process. This team is responsible for the safe and secure movement of individuals in custody between detention facilities, courts and other processing locations. These transports require careful coordination, planning and security to ensure the safety of everyone involved.

๐Ÿ’— And a special shoutout to this team of officers, who are pictured proudly rocking their pink badges in recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness Month! We appreciate their hard work and dedication to keeping our community safe.

IN OCTOBER, WE WEAR PINK! ๐ŸŽ€ All month long, Broomfield Police Patrol and Detention Officers will be wearing pink badges in recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

Itโ€™s a small but meaningful way for our department to show support for those currently battling breast cancer, celebrate survivors and honor the memory of those weโ€™ve lost to the disease. This October, BPD is proud to wear pink. ๐Ÿ’—

The Broomfield Police Department responded to Legacy High School around 10:30 this morning regarding a report that a student possibly had a weapon. In coordination with the school, officers placed a portion of the school on a brief hold while investigating. No weapon was found, and the rumor was determined to not be credible.
