Just a quick reminder that we have joined Neighbors (also Ring) in our efforts to connect with residents and improve the safety of our communities. Please note, this is the “Neighbors” app, not to be confused with the “Nextdoor” app.   Neighbors allow you, the user, to share photos, videos and information related to local crime and safety incidents so fellow residents can stay informed.  

The Columbine Valley Police can view what residents have posted publicly to Neighbors and can now chime-in with relevant updates or safety alerts to help residents stay informed.  You do not need a Ring device to join Neighbors.  Anyone with a smartphone can download the Neighbors App to receive updates and have the option to post photos or videos from any device.

Feel free to spread the word and make sure to always report criminal activity or emergency situations directly to the Columbine Valley Police by contacting Arapahoe County Dispatch at 303-795-4711 or 911 in the event of an emergency. 

Criminals look for easy targets. You can make it more difficult for them by following the #9PMRoutine! Many vehicle burglaries, and to a lesser degree, stolen vehicles, occur as a result of vehicles being left unlocked. Criminals walk through neighborhoods, trying vehicle door handles, hoping to find an unlocked vehicle. The best way to prevent vehicle burglaries is to remove all your valuables, lock your vehicle’s doors upon exiting and take the keys to the vehicle inside your residence.”
