Jennifer’s plan in brief: A fully supported police department, speed enforcement in school zones and on cut-through streets, e-motos kept off trails and sidewalks, and emergency readiness for every household.
What neighbors are saying
Residents value how safe the Village feels and want to keep it that way.
They raise speeding and cut-through traffic, e-motos on trails and sidewalks, and kids’ safety near school.
Some neighbors have tied trail access to break-in worries, while others have asked that trails stay open to everyone.
The facts so far
Staffing. In 2024, Council funded three additional police officers that the Police Chief requested for overnight coverage and investigations.
E-motos. In April 2026, police reported impounding six e-motos and notifying parents. In May 2026, the department described a shift toward citations and impounds for unregistered, uninsured motorized vehicles.
Community support. In April 2025, the Police Foundation presented the City with a $25,000 gift for a police K-9.
Services residents can use now include Vacation House Watch, the community flu shot clinic at City Hall, and Drug Take Back events.
Listen
Invite residents to report where and when they see speeding and e-motos, and share those reports with the Police Department so patrols match what neighbors see.
Inform
A short public safety update in every Crier, and plain guidance on emergency alerts and keeping 911 access during outages.
Act
Keep the department fully staffed and competitive. Support the pay, pension, training, wellness, and technology officers need to recruit and keep the best.
Focus on what residents report. Speed enforcement in school zones and on cut-through streets, and continued enforcement against illegal e-motos.
Emergency readiness. Make sure every household knows how to get emergency alerts, and equip emergency vehicles with satellite communications so first responders are always reachable.
Work with our neighbors. Coordinate with Greenwood Village, Englewood, Arapahoe County, and South Metro Fire Rescue on shared roads and shared emergencies.
What this means for your street
The slower traffic that protects a child at school drop-off also protects a neighbor out for an evening walk. Knowing how to get emergency alerts, and how to reach 911 if the power or network goes down, matters in every home, whoever lives there. A safe Village is one where everyone is looked after. I will make sure our officers keep the support they need and focus on what residents report.
