Broomfield’s Patrol Division, led by Commanders Cory
Amend, Michael Clement, and Roger Plunkett is the
backbone of the Police Department. Patrol officers
are first responders to emergencies. Their sharp eyes and professional
actions, together with their collective work with community members on
neighborhood problems, help maintain the quality of life that Broomfield
residents enjoy.
Broomfield Police Officers responded to 29,577 calls for service in
2007, and the Patrol Division handled 21,989, or 74.3%, of those calls. Calls for service are all requests from our citizens for assistance.
The requests can be for a wide variety of reasons, including reports of
suspicious people, neighborhood problems, or to report a crime.
Broomfield "On The Beat" Police K-9 Unit
In addition, Patrol
Officers initiated 32,750 citizen contacts on a variety of topics in
2007. These contacts reinforce the community-oriented policing
philosophy that governs the Department’s day-to-day activities.
Although the numbers of calls for service have increased over the last
several years, the rate of crime in Broomfield continues to remain low.
This can be attributed to our citizens who, in many cases, are calling the
police for help before a crime occurs and using services in true
partnership with the police.
The Court Security Unit
provides security in the combined courts facility located at 17 DesCombes
Drive. A desk officer is available in Court Security for walk-in citizen assistance and counter police reports.
The Unit also offers fingerprinting to Broomfield citizens Monday and
Tuesday from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. as well as on Tuesday evenings
from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. There is no charge for this service to
Broomfield residents. Proof of residency is required.
