Meet the Downtown Block Officers
In close relationship with Downtown Boulder’s Block Captain Program, the Boulder Police Department proudly introduces the Downtown Officer Block Program. This initiative is meant to strengthen the connection between the downtown business community and local law enforcement by assigning dedicated officers to specific downtown blocks.
Each officer serves as a direct liaison for the businesses on their blocks located in the Business Improvement District—helping to answer questions, provide support and help foster a safer, more welcoming environment for everyone who visits downtown.
Get to know the officers serving downtown. (Please remember that all safety-related concerns and issues should be called or texted to 911. Police non-emergency can be reached at 303-441-4444 (ext. 8).
