🚧 Pardon Our Progress - Parking Lot Closure Ahead

We’re paving the way for progress — literally!
As construction continues on the police facility, crews will be installing a layer of asphalt on Monday, October 26, and Tuesday, October 27.

During this work, our public parking lot will be closed — our lobby remains open for business.

Visiting us?
Please park along Telleen Avenue and follow the adjacent sidewalk directly to our front entrance. Watch for construction activity and follow all posted signage.

We appreciate your patience as we navigate another milestone in our expansion. We’re getting closer to the finish line, one layer at a time!

One animal control/code officer. Many hats. A whole town better for his work. 🐾🏡

During Code Enforcement Appreciation Month, we’re recognizing Pendleton—Erie Police’s ONE Animal Control and Code Officer.

As a one-person unit, Pendleton handles a substantial caseload with enthusiasm, care, and a commitment to doing the job well. His work helps protect the safety, health, and quality of life of our community—including its four-legged residents.

And somehow, between calls, he keeps making time to grow. This year, he completed his Bureau of Animal Protection certification and expanded his training in wildlife response and animal disaster preparedness. The Animal Welfare Association of Colorado also selected him to share his expertise as a guest speaker at its spring training. 👏

His impact reaches beyond his own assignments—and beyond Erie. He readily assists patrol, lends a hand to neighboring agencies, and builds partnerships with animal welfare and code enforcement organizations. Those partners have gone out of their way to tell us how much they appreciate him.

He may be a department of one, but he brings the heart of a teammate to everything he does.

Please join us in thanking Pendleton for all he does for Erie!

Barking dogs. Escaped horses. Squirrels. Screaming Halloween decorations. And a dog custody dispute that probably needed a mediator with treats.

🎬 This week’s police log had range.

But behind the unusual calls were some of the toughest moments our officers face. A reminder that compassion matters just as much as enforcement.

💙 If you’re struggling, call or text 988. Help is always available.

Erie, it’s been a week. Roll the recap.

🎬 Erie, everybody’s in a hurry… but where exactly are we going?

34 over. Road rage. DUIs. $400K. Open garages (sigh). And one deeply suspicious donut. 🍩

This week is LOADED.

Buckle up. It’s the Week Recap.

🚨 Experienced officers: We’re doing something we’ve never done before.

Erie PD is hiring lateral officers—and this time, there are two ways to make your move.

🕵️ Want to investigate?
For the first time in our history, qualified lateral applicants interested in detective work may have the opportunity to join our Investigations Section after successfully completing Erie PD’s mini-skills orientation. You’ll join an experienced team led by a seasoned Sergeant and get right to work doing what you came here to do.

🚓 Patrol is calling?
We’re hiring there, too. Bring your POST certification and experience to Erie, complete our orientation, and start your next chapter serving a growing community.

Same badge. Different paths. You decide where your experience takes you.

And because good opportunities shouldn’t linger forever, the application window is only two weeks.

Already wondering what a move to Erie might look like? Take a look at both opportunities, compare the details, and reach out with questions.

Know a good cop who might be ready for something new? Tag them or send this their way.

Please join us in congratulating Sergeant Gentles, who was formally recognized during our September 16 ceremony on his promotion to Sergeant.

Since joining the Erie Police Department in December 2020, Gentles has demonstrated the leadership, sound judgment and commitment to service necessary to take on this important role.

Sergeants are an essential part of our leadership team, providing day-to-day direction, mentorship and support to the officers serving our community.

Throughout his career with EPD, Gentles has earned a Chief’s Certificate of Excellence, four Unit Citations and a Lifesaving Medal. Among those recognitions is a Unit Citation for his response to the 2021 King Soopers mass shooting in Boulder—an incident that occurred while Gentles was still completing his field training.

During the ceremony, Gentles took his oath of office and had his new badge pinned, officially marking his transition into this new leadership role.

Congratulations, Sergeant Gentles! We are proud to welcome him to EPD’s leadership team and look forward to the experience, guidance and dedication he will bring to this next chapter of his career.

🥴 DUIs. Hit-and-runs. Drunk people. A loose baby cow.

One of those things is not like the others. 🐄

Please join us in congratulating Jackie Salcedo, who was formally recognized during our September ceremony on her selection as the Erie Police Department’s newest Detective.

Since joining Erie Police in January 2023, Salcedo has consistently demonstrated the dedication, drive, and professionalism required for this important assignment. In less than four years, she has received more than 50 positive recognitions from supervisors, community members, and her peers. Her service has also earned her a Unit Citation, two Letters of Commendation for Exceptional Service and two Lifesaving Medals.

As a detective, Salcedo will take on an important role in conducting thorough investigations, supporting victims of crime, and helping guide cases through the criminal justice process.

During the ceremony, Salcedo took her oath of office and had her new badge pinned, marking the beginning of this next chapter in her career.

Congratulations, Detective Salcedo! We look forward to seeing all she accomplishes as a member of our Investigations Section.
