Parker Police Department

Crime data is a big part of how the Parker Police Department in Colorado works: a crime analyst and several software tools track patterns and trends so the agency can adjust staffing, target neighborhood problems and try to get ahead of crime. Monthly public crime reports and an annual report are posted, and the Records Division provides statistics on request for a fee. The LexisNexis Community Crime Map, refreshed daily from police records, lets residents look up incidents and sign up for alerts; citing Colorado's Victim Rights Act (Colorado Revised Statutes section 24-4.1-302), the department leaves off incidents with juvenile or at-risk victims, along with sex offenses and death investigations. Officers walk foot patrols when they can, attend homeowner association meetings and offer crime prevention assessments to businesses. Events and classes include a Citizen's Police Academy, an Access and Functional Needs academy, child safety classes, drug take-back days, a Night Out celebration, Coffee with a Cop, Police Explorers, ride-alongs, scout badge events, Shop with a Cop and weather spotter training. Traffic officers use lasers, radar and speed boards, and a public map shows where stops happen; residents can flag trouble spots on Let's Talk Parker.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau (ACS 2023), Parker town, CO has an estimated population of 60,115.
