Last Tuesday at National Night Out, there was an individual who was actively campaigning for an elected position. No political candidates asked the Breckenridge Police Department to campaign at National Night Out. In past events, different organizations have asked the Breckenridge Police Department to hand out information or set up information tables at National Night Out. These organizations are typically groups whose message is related to community safety or to provide resources to our community.

National Night Out is an event intended to give back to our community, strengthen partnerships between law enforcement and residents, and provide an opportunity for everyone to come together and enjoy an evening as a community.

I want to make it clear that the Breckenridge Police Department does NOT endorse, support, or oppose any candidate currently seeking elected office. Our department remains committed to serving all members of our community fairly, professionally, and impartially.

Thank you for your understanding, cooperation, and support.
Chief Kris Karlgaard
