How to File a Complaint or Commendation

Please Note: If you are reporting a crime, incident in progress or suspicious incident/person. Instead, please call our 24 hour dispatch center at 303-556-5000 so that we may assist you immediately.

IN-PERSON
Community members are encouraged to stop by the Administration Building or call 303-556-5000 and request to speak with a supervisory officer. A supervisor will take the initial complaint, which most often can be resolved expeditiously at that level. Should any complaint require additional investigation, the matter will be referred to the Chief Phibbs, who will assign the matter accordingly for further investigation.
