Police
Holiday Closures
All City of Boulder administrative facilities and Age Well Centers will be closed Thursday, July 4, for the Independence Day holiday. Some facilities and services will remain open.
Police impersonators have stopped and questioned drivers in at least two Colorado cities about why they are out during a statewide stay-at-home order. At this time, the Boulder Police Department has not received any reports of police imposters in our community.
Boulder police officers are not conducting traffic stops solely to ascertain why people are traveling. Officers are operating under the assumption that most violations will be unintentional providing education rather than enforcement. The hope is that criminal enforcement of the public health order will not become necessary.
Please consider the following when pulled over by a vehicle you believe may be a police impersonator.
The Boulder Police Department utilizes marked and unmarked patrol vehicles. Most traffic stops are conducted by a police officer in uniform, but in some cases the officer is in regular clothing. All police officers in Colorado are required to carry an agency-issued identification card and business card with their name and agency. Ask to see the officer’s ID card and business card if you are concerned they are not a police officer.
