December 21, 2009 - Longmont Residents Feel Safe - Every other year, the Longmont Police Department (LPD) conducts a comprehensive survey to gauge the community’s perspective regarding crime, disorder and quality of services provided. In 2009, the LPD received over 1,000 surveys from our residents that assisted us in determining their sense of safety, their sense of disorder, and the quality of services provided by the LPD. Residents were asked to rate quality of the LPD’s staff based on a recent contact. Fifty-one percent of the respondents had contact with a LPD staff member in the last twelve months. When asked to rate their overall impression of the LPD staff member, 81 percent gave a very good or good rating and 6 percent gave a bad rating. This has increased from 79% “good or very good” rating in 2007. To view the 2009 survey. For more information call (303)651-8541.

October 14, 2009 - Garden Acres Burglaries - The Longmont Police Department is warning residents of recent night time burglaries. On the night of Tuesday, October 13, and Wednesday, October 14, a number of residential burglaries occurred in the Garden Acres Beat. This beat is defined between 17th Avenue on the south, Hover Street on the west, Francis Street on the east, and Highway 66 on the north. The suspect(s) entered homes through unlocked doors. No one has been injured, but the Longmont Police Department is asking neighbors to be alert for suspicious activity. Residents should call 9-1-1 and report suspicious parties with as much detail as possible. This includes male/female, height, weight, clothing, direction of travel, ethnicity, associated vehicle, license plate, etc. LPD is reminding residents to keep all doors and windows securely locked. In the early morning hours of Tuesday (October 13, 2009, between 1:30am – 6:00am) there were three reported residential burglaries in North Longmont. In two of these incidents, the residents awoke to see one or two males in their house. In one case, the residents confronted the suspect and the suspect casually walked out of the house. The description provided to the police was a "younger male" of average size. At 2:22am in the 1700 block of Tulip Street, entry was made through an unlocked front door. The resident woke up and looked down to the main floor to see two males. The resident described these males as 5'7", 155 lbs. One was wearing a black jacket; one was wearing a red jacket or red & black jacket. Both were wearing ski masks. The suspects took two of the resident's bags; one contained clothing and one a HP laptop. The bag containing the laptop was a Swiss Army bag. Later in the morning at 3:46am in the 1800 block of Everett Place, entry was made through the rear sliding glass door. Nothing was taken but items in the garage were moved. The resident woke to a male leaning over her bed. A third entry was made sometime between 1:30am and 6:00am in the 2300 block of Dunbar Court. Burglars entered through a rear unlocked, garage door and stole a 32" flat screen television. Residents did not see anything or hear anything suspicious during the night. On Wednesday, October 14, 2009, in the 1800 block of Cambridge Drive, a victim heard someone trying to gain entry to the back door of her home. The victim looked outside and saw a male, which she described as a Hispanic or white male in his "late teens to early twenties", wearing black pants, a black hoodie sweatshirt, and black gloves. She described this suspect as about 5'09" tall and weighing about 130 pounds. She said that this male calmly walked away from her back door and climbed her back fence. She did not get a look at this male's face and said she was surprised that he did not say anything to her. During a neighborhood canvas, officers learned of a couple First Degree Criminal Trespasses if vehicles near the burglary locations.
If you have additional information regarding these burglaries, please call Detective Sergeant Joel Post at 303-651-8523.
