The Denver Police Department is maintaining a Fireworks Hotline through July 10. If you’re being disturbed by the noise or see anyone creating a safety hazard with fireworks, you can call and anonymously report the incident. The hotline number is (720) 913-2000. When hotline staff members receive a complaint, they notify a Police or Fire Dispatcher who, in turn, notifies the team coordinator, who relays the information to the team or teams in that area.
DPD also is running special neighborhood patrols in neighborhoods where they have seen the heaviest use of fireworks in previous years. Each team consists of one Denver Police officer and one firefighter from the Fire Prevention and Investigation Division. There will be 8 teams working every night through the middle of June, and up to 11 teams in the field on July 4th weekend. In addition, crews from the local firehouses are also directed to patrol their neighborhoods and watch for fireworks use during this period.
If you have any questions about this year’s enforcement campaign, please contact Police Sergeant Jurgen Mohr at 720-913-1075.
