A message from the city regarding Tuesday morning's events:

    In the wake of this morning’s attack on the East Coast, New York City and the Pentagon, the City of Broomfield is monitoring events. The City and the Broomfield Police Department are in contact with the state office of emergency preparedness. While there is no indication at this time that terrorist activity might occur in the Broomfield region, police have instituted heightened patrols around schools, other public buildings and in areas where large numbers of people may congregate.

    The FAA has ordered all airports closed, including Jeffco Airport. While the airport proper is in unincorporated Jefferson County, many of the streets and buildings around the airport are in Broomfield. Consequently, Broomfield Police are assisting the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Department to close the airport.

    Residents are advised to tune in to news stations for ongoing coverage of events surrounding the terrorist attacks and any updates on precautions being taken in the Broomfield region.
