HAPPY RETIREMENT, COMMANDER HAINES! 🎉

After more than 27 years of dedicated service to the Broomfield Police Department and more than 36 years in law enforcement, Commander Linda Haines has officially retired!

Commander Haines joined BPD as a Patrol Officer in 1999 and went on to serve as a Detective, Sergeant, Commander and more. Along the way, she made department history as the first — and still only — woman assigned to a motorcycle with department's Traffic Unit. 🏍️ She also graduated from the FBI National Academy Session 270 in 2017.

Her career report includes an impressive 68 entries, including thank-you letters, Unit Citations, Police Commendations, a Citizen Commendation, Community Service Awards, Supervisor of the Year and numerous other accolades.

But Linda's impact on BPD goes far beyond a list of assignments and awards. For more than two decades, she has been a trusted leader, colleague and friend who has helped shape our department and the people who serve here.

Please join us in congratulating Commander Haines on an incredible career and thanking her for her many years of service to BPD and the Broomfield community. 💙

𝐓𝐈𝐏 𝐋𝐄𝐀𝐃𝐒 𝐓𝐎 𝐀𝐑𝐑𝐄𝐒𝐓𝐒 & 𝐃𝐑𝐔𝐆 𝐒𝐄𝐈𝐙𝐔𝐑𝐄: A tip from a neighboring law enforcement agency led Broomfield Police to a wanted suspect and the seizure of suspected drugs Monday morning.

Around 10 a.m. on August 31, 2026, Broomfield Officers received information that a suspect wanted by another agency might be in the Broomfield area. Officers located the 27-year-old man in a field near the 2700 block of Industrial Lane with three women.

The suspect was quickly identified and taken into custody on several charges, including felony eluding.

Further investigation led officers to seize:
• More than 4 grams of suspected co***ne
• More than 1 gram of suspected methamphetamine
• Seven suspected blue M30 pills
• Several prescription medications in bottles that did not belong to the suspects
• Drug paraphernalia
• A scale and ledger
• A debit card believed to possibly be stolen

A 37-year-old woman at the scene was also arrested and booked into the Broomfield Detention Center on two outstanding Adams County warrants and additional drug-related charges.
A second woman, 39, was arrested on an outstanding warrant out of Thornton.

This case is another example of how information sharing and cooperation between neighboring law enforcement agencies can help officers quickly locate wanted individuals and remove suspected illegal drugs from our community. *All persons are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

Happy National Dog Day! 🐾 Today we’re giving a special shoutout to one of our favorite four-legged visitors — Jesse! 💙🐶

Jesse is an English Cream Golden Retriever and therapy dog who has been making weekly visits to the Broomfield Police Department for nearly five years. And trust us… he has quite the fan club!

Officers and professional staff alike look forward to seeing his sweet face, giving that incredibly soft coat a few pets and, of course, sneaking him a treat or two. 🦴

Dogs have a pretty amazing way of making even the busiest days a little brighter, and Jesse is no exception. On National Dog Day, we’re especially thankful for Jesse and all the tail wags, smiles and happiness he brings to BPD each week! 🐾💙

𝐄𝐀𝐑𝐋𝐘-𝐌𝐎𝐑𝐍𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐂𝐑𝐀𝐒𝐇 𝐋𝐄𝐀𝐃𝐒 𝐓𝐎 𝐃𝐔𝐈, 𝐃𝐑𝐔𝐆 𝐀𝐑𝐑𝐄𝐒𝐓! Just after 1:30 a.m. on Sunday, August 23, Broomfield Dispatch received an automated crash notification from a vehicle’s safety system near Highway 7 and Huron Street in north Broomfield.

Shortly afterward, a Patrol Officer spotted a truck traveling on the wrong side of the road with its airbags deployed. The officer followed the vehicle until the driver eventually stopped near Highway 7 and Sheridan.

Further investigation led officers to locate the original crash scene and discover more than 12 grams of suspected co***ne. Several alcoholic beverages were also found inside the truck’s center console.

The 29-year-old driver was medically cleared and booked into the Broomfield Detention Center on several charges, including DUI, careless driving and possession of a controlled substance.
Thankfully, no additional vehicles were involved and no other injuries were reported. All persons are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

Another week… another newborn baby! This time, from the animal kingdom. 🍼🌳🐿️

Earlier this month, Broomfield Animal Services Officers Fetz and Tindall responded to a home after a teeny, tiny newborn squirrel fell from its nest in a tree.

They offered some guidance on how to safely reunite the baby with its mother, instead of immediately just assuming the worst. That advice included playing baby squirrel sounds from a smartphone while watching and waiting from a distance.

And sure enough—it worked! A short time later, momma squirrel scurried down the tree, scooped up her little one, gave the baby a quick dust-off and carried it safely back to the nest. A tiny rescue with a wonderfully happy ending!

A big thank you to Morgan Battersby for capturing this sweet reunion and sharing the video with us. Morgan also thanked Officers Fetz and Tindall for their “compassion, professionalism and care.”

We couldn’t agree more. Great work, Animal Services—and welcome home, little squirrel! 🐿️💕
