This morning, hundreds of Coloradans showed what it meant to stand as #onecommUNITY. Together we walked the streets of @cityofdenver cleaning up from the previous night. We picked up trash, scrubbed the memorials, painted over profanity, pressure washed the concrete, we talked, we cried, we vowed to listen to each other, to do better together.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month

Ensuring that the @denverpolice have the proper resources to combat the sights, sounds, and stressors of their job is of the utmost importance to the #denverpolicefoundation.

We are honored to do our part by providing emotional survival books to all new recruits, facilitating trainings focusing on mental health, and supporting the department day in and day out however they need.
.
For each and every one of us and for them, let us all be kind to our minds: . - PAUSE, breathe and try to be present in the moment - MAKE TIME to sleep and exercise - REACH OUT to your friends and family, stay connected - SEEK HELP if you are feeling overwhelmed or unsafe

A reminder from our friends at @denverpolice . .

A reminder from our friends at @denverpolice .

REMINDER: CAPITOL HILL & DOWNTOWN RESIDENTS WILL LIKELY HEAR CONTROLLED GUNFIRE TODAY
.

Today, May 27, 2020, between approximately 4:00 p.m. and 11:30 p.m., the Denver Police Department (DPD) will conduct live-gunfire tests in several locations around downtown and Capitol Hill to calibrate its gunshot detection system.
.

DPD’s gunshot detection system uses a network of acoustic sensors to detect when a gun is fired and then accurately determines the location of the gunfire. In less than a minute, the vendor (ShotSpotter) notifies 911 dispatchers and patrol officers of the incidents. By quickly notifying police with detailed information, the system helps to speed police response, has the potential to save the lives of shooting victims, increases weapons-related arrests, and enhances neighborhood safety. This system is part of DPD’s comprehensive gun violence reduction strategy. .

The live-gunfire tests will consist of a sequence of gunshots followed by validation of sound detection by the system. During the tests, a bullet trap will be used to ensure public safety -- no bullets will be fired into the air or ground, and there is no danger to the public.
.

While this gunshot detection system is very effective, DPD still encourages the community to report sounds of gunfire by calling 720-913-2000.

And the community keeps answering the call! . . Hu

And the community keeps answering the call! .
.
Huge shout out to Leslie Maginn (@lesliejmaginn) and her team at BSW Real Estate for donating 100 masks and two bottles of hand sanitizer to @denverpolice. .
.
THANK YOU!!! .
