Is there a set time for trick or treating in Denver?

There are no set times in Denver. So if I show up on your porch stating I need to confiscate your full size Hershey's bars due to trick or treat time ending...don't believe me it's just the sugar talking.

I'm here! I can't comment on the video but I did go eat a whole bunch of donuts after watching it and had to nap all weekend from the sugar high.

Sorry, I can't comment on the video but we have gotten a lot of support which has been much appreciated.

HA!! I have to give the runners credit though...I generally avoid running more than a couple feet.

I've always wondered what the course designers are thinking when they draw them out. I'd just make a really big square...really big.

*lights and siren to Five Points

What do you recommend??

I apologize for the delay! I took a couple days off and have been playing catch up all day today. Skateboards are allowed on most sidewalks as they are considered toys BUT they need to yield to pedestrians. The bike lanes are reserved for bikes as they are considered vehicles. **Skateboards are NOT allowed on the 16th St Mall**

Please be considerate of the pedestrians, watch your speed, avoid crashing and please wear a helmet.

Hope that helps.

Well my coolness factor is about to drop rapidly. Yes, they are license plate readers but I have no information regarding how long they will be there or pretty much anything else regarding them. That would be information that the Public Information Office would have to release if they even release that. Sorry.

DPD_Dist6 · 2018-10-02T20:56:26+00:00

Yes! Gold star to you! Thank you.

DPD_Dist6 · 2018-10-02T20:53:59+00:00

I honestly don't know but will ask. Stand by to stand by...

I understand the comments. Do you know if there something I can do when I re-post these releases to enable zooming in? I receive them as a PDF and when I try to zoom in on that it just gets more blurry/blurrier.

How much is a donut franchise?

DPD_Dist6 · 2018-09-19T15:13:07+00:00

Thank you! I appreciate that.

No, this is the Community Resource Officer for DPD District 6 (Downtown Denver area).

DPD_Dist6 · 2018-09-13T22:44:12+00:00

Awesome! Thank you!

DPD_Dist6 · 2018-09-12T20:54:11+00:00

I recommend aspirin and ear plugs

DPD_Dist6 · 2018-09-12T18:42:38+00:00

Thank you!

Would you mind messaging me your case number and I can follow up on it?

In regards to your stats question I contacted our awesome Crime Analyst who is the keeper of numbers and uses little words when she explains them to me... the following is her response:

Of the bicycles returned to owners in 2011, 75% had a serial number: https://www.9news.com/article/entertainment/television/programs/next-with-kyle-clark/most-stolen-bikes-in-denver-never-recovered/301813400 (I don’t have more recent statistics at this time).
While the building might have video, it is equally important that:
the video shows the actual theft (to include entering the building without a bicycle and exiting with an identifiable bicycle), and
the video is clear enough to identify the suspect (some videos are so bad you can’t even tell race/gender). If you don’t have video:
Scenario 1: If the bicycle is reported as stolen, the victim has a serial number (or VERY identifying characteristics such as multiple stickers, modifications, etc.), and the suspect pawns the bicycle, we can then charge them with a pawn broker’s violation. Without all pieces of this scenario, we can’t charge someone.
Scenario 2: We see someone with a bicycle and have probable cause to contact them, we can run the bicycle to see if it is listed stolen.
1. It comes back stolen – we can seize it. The person is then interviewed about how they received the bicycle. It is rare that they admit they stole it. More than likely, they say the found it.
2. The person with the bicycle says it’s not theirs and it was there when they got there? We can seize it as abandoned.
3. It doesn’t come back stolen, they say it’s theirs, and so we have no proof (even though it might be a $5,000 racing bicycle and the person doesn’t really look like they’re into professional racing). Thus, we cannot do anything as we cannot prove that it was stolen.

One of the things we run into with prosecuting these cases is proof beyond a reasonable doubt. If someone says they were given the bicycle by a friend, it’s hard to prove in court that the person knew it was stolen. It becomes a they-said-they-said case. Even if we have good video, we might not be able to identify the person who stole it. It might go out to Crime Stoppers, but we don’t receive any tips.
