Officer-initiated activities encompass the community oriented policing philosophy that governs the department’s day-to-day activities, a couple of examples include, stopping in the park to hand out sticker badges to kids or to assist a stranded motorist.
Although the numbers of calls for service continue to increase over the years, the rate of crime in Broomfield continues to remain low. This can be attributed to our residents who, in many cases, are calling the police for help before a crime occurs and using services in true partnership with the police.
