Wishing Durango a safe, calm, and low-drama Thanksgiving. 🦃😅

May your biggest conflict be “pie vs. more pie,” not “call the cops.” Stay safe, be kind, and may your day be full of carbs and zero police reports. 🥧💛 #OneDurango #Thanksgiving #GratefulNotHateful #durangopd

🚨 Chief Brice Current on road rage:
A few seconds of frustration can turn dangerous fast. Don’t engage with aggressive drivers. Create distance when you can and call 911 if you feel threatened.
Slow down. Stay calm. Look out for each other. 🚗💙

If you had 10 minutes to leave home, would you be ready?
Start with water, food, medications, first aid, flashlights, backup power, important documents, cash, and supplies for kids, older adults, and pets.
Start with a bag. Add a few things this week. Keep building.

This week, we honored Durango Police Cpl. Gale Emerson and Durango Firefighter Nick Parks. On Aug. 24, 1974, they gave their lives helping evacuate residents during the Main Avenue fire. Their courage remains part of Durango’s story. May they never be forgotten. #DurangoPD #DurangofireRescue

Someone found this wallet and brought it to DPD. Our Police Service Technician tracked down the out-of-town owner and returned it.

This happens more often than people realize. Thank you to everyone who takes time to help a stranger and do the right thing.

From “house fire” to “dad fired up the smoker.”
A drone helped confirm heavy smoke near a home was from an attended smoker grill, not a fire.
No injuries. Just barbecue.
Drones help us get better info faster and reduce unnecessary Code 3 driving. #DurangoPD #DronesForGood #PublicSafety #OneDurango

Same job. Very different commute.
While some beats come with bumper-to-bumper traffic, ours occasionally includes locomotives and postcard-worthy views. 🚂
Your beat. Our beat.

Ranger’s Christmas wish: a safe Animas River Trail. 🎄🚲
Analog bikes + Class 1 & 2 e-bikes (20 mph) = ✅ on the trail.
Class 3 e-bikes, scooters, e-skateboards, one-wheels & e-motos = ❌
Slow down, call “on your left,” & keep pups on 6ft leashes🐾

The Durango Police Department stands with the Adams County Sheriff’s Office as they mourn the line-of-duty death of Commander Karl Smalley. DPD officers are shrouding their badges in his honor. Please keep his family and ACSO in your thoughts. 🖤💙🖤

Flashing lights on the roadside aren’t scenery — they’re someone’s office. 🚓🚒🚑
Governor Polis has proclaimed Nov 17–21 as Crash Responder Safety Week in Colorado.
When you see crews working a crash: slow down, move over, stay alert.

☀️➡️❄️ Summer’s packed up—your RV should too! 🚐❄️
No storing RVs/boats/trailers in the street & no “street camping.”
Move ‘em by Nov. 1 so the snowplows don’t give them a love tap. 😉
