Colorado’s bears are hungry. That does not mean you should feed them.

Right now bears are looking to pack on the calories ahead of winter –– and those calories need to come from their natural, wild food sources. The historic drought is having an impact on their naturally available food sources, but wild bears need wild food. Not people food. Or even “wild” food courtesy of people.

They need wild food they get on their own.

Bears, people and food do not mix well. We understand concern for our state’s wildlife and this is a unique year, but supplemental feeding of bears is illegal, dangerous and does much more harm than good in both the short and long term.

Feeding bears teaches them to become less wary of humans, which can be dangerous. It also ruins their natural instincts of how to forage and prepare for winter on their own, which can hurt them this year, and well into the future.

This also doesn’t just apply to your backyard. This goes for the backcountry as well. Bears are incredibly adept at noticing an increase in human activity in the woods. If that activity is associated with an easy meal, those bears will seek out more human activity (like going to the nearest town) rather than staying in the backcountry.

The list of reasons to not feed bears goes on. Don’t be the reason a bear loses the “wild” part of being wildlife. Their instincts have been sharpened over thousands of years. Do not be the one who ruins them –– choose to be part of the solution and preserve those instincts.

CCPD August Activity Snapshot

In an effort to keep our community informed about law enforcement activity, the Cañon City Police Department is sharing a monthly "snapshot". This is intended to provide an brief overview of what the CCPD is doing to address law violations and participate in proactive policing.

Please note the following as it pertains to data collection:
• Sources include data from the ITI/Omnigo Records Management System/Data Archive, Tyler RMS including Tyler Law Enforcement Explorer, Performance Dashboard, Tyler Law Enforcement Analytics and Computer Aided Dispatch or CAD, Packtrack, EvidenceOnQ, FileOnQ, Colorado Behavioral Health Administration, Powerengage and various social media posts.
• Any case not fully processed may not be included. All aggregations are based on cases subject to NIBRS corrections and therefore should not be considered official or final.
• As of May of 2024, the ability to collect additional data has improved within the agency. Data comparisons between previous and current systems does not necessarily reflect a rise or fall in crime but an extension in data collection. It is noted when previous data sources are used. Comparisons between years are included in
report if available.

In addition to statistics, you will find the snapshot includes safety reminders. We hope you find the information interesting and beneficial.

The Cañon City Water Department has received the fourth round of testing results for geosmin and 2-methyl-isoborneol (MIB) from Analytical Environment Laboratory (AEL). Test results show a continued reduction in the levels of geosmin at the same three sample testing points (85%-93% from last week). Geosmin levels are now below the 10ng/L (10 nanograms per liter / 10 parts per trillion) level of detection, however, it will take a few days for these lower levels to work its way through the entire water distribution system. We thank our community for being patient while we continued our treatment process to fully resolve this issue.
