A routine patrol turned into a lifesaving response when Denver Street Engagement Team (SET) Supervisor Scott Lawson spotted an unresponsive man in an alley.

Scott quickly took action, performing CPR and administering naloxone until the man began breathing again and EMS arrived.

This moment highlights the important role SET plays in Denver’s public safety system. Through outreach, relationship-building and connecting people with resources, the team looks out for Denver’s communities in ways that often go unseen.👀

Four significant incidents in just three hours.

Yesterday, Denver firefighters responded to two structure fires, a vehicle crash into a home and a commercial fire — all within a three-hour window.

From firefighters and specialty teams to incident commanders, Denver Fire crews worked quickly across the city to protect lives and property while maintaining an efficient emergency response.

đź‘Ź Thank you to our Denver firefighters, as well as Denver 911 and Denver Police, for the coordination, professionalism and dedication demonstrated throughout these incidents.

Today, we honor the lives lost as a result of September 11, 2001.

Denver’s public safety community is joining remembrance events across the city, honoring the victims of 9/11 and the first responders whose service and selflessness that day continue to hold deep meaning.

Twenty-five years later, we reflect on a day that changed our country and remember the people, families and communities whose lives were forever impacted.

We will never forget.

Thirty years of service. Countless second chances. One belief that has remained constant: people can change.

Before Greg Mauro built a career in community corrections, he thought he might spend his life studying fish. But a job at a youth residential center changed his path — introducing him to people whose lives had been shaped by addiction, trauma and the criminal justice system.

Today, Mauro leads Denver’s Community Corrections Division, working in a part of public safety that often happens outside the public eye. His teams help people navigate pretrial supervision, residential programs and the difficult process of successfully returning to the community.

“If you don’t have a fundamental belief that people can change, this probably isn’t the career for you,” Mauro said, recalling advice from an early mentor.

Over three decades with the City and County of Denver, Mauro has seen programs evolve, approaches change and plenty of setbacks along the way. But he’s also seen the small wins that can change the course of someone’s life — a new job, reconnecting with family or making a different choice.

As Mauro puts it: “Sometimes the wins are small.” After 30 years, his work remains grounded in the idea that public safety requires accountability, but also treatment, supervision, support and opportunities for people to build more stable lives.

Thank you, Greg, for 30 years of service to Denver and for continuing to believe in what’s possible.👏

Last week, the Denver Sheriff Department proudly celebrated the graduation and swearing in of 19 new deputies from Class 2026-2.

“This class represents outstanding people who choose a career of service, integrity, and sacrifice. We are proud of these new deputies and inspired by the difference they will make in our community,” said Sheriff Elias Diggins.

Becoming a deputy is both an honor and a responsibility, with each new recruit joining a legacy rooted in service, integrity and commitment to the community.

After completing a rigorous 16-week academy, these graduates are now prepared to take on the distinctive responsibilities of serving in Denver’s jails. Their training focused on safety, professionalism, teamwork, and the department’s humanity-centered approach to public safety, values they will carry with them throughout their careers.

Congratulations to our newest deputies as they begin their careers and welcome to the Department of Public Safety. 🤝

After 34 years with the Denver Fire Department, Engineer Norman “Earl” Chapman ended his final shift doing what he has spent his career doing — answering the call.

Congratulations on your retirement, Engineer Chapman, and thank you for 34 years of service to Denver! đźš’

INTERNATIONAL OVERDOSE AWARENESS DAY

Today marks International Overdose Awareness Day (IOAD). Held annually on August 31, IOAD is the world’s largest annual campaign to end overdose, remember without stigma those who have died, and acknowledge the grief of family and friends left behind.

Tragically, in 2025, an estimated 69,973 people in the United States lost their lives due to overdose. Your Denver Police Department (DPD) continues to do it's part to prevent overdose death by focusing on removing illicit drugs from Denver’s streets and arresting criminals who prey on those experiencing drug addiction. Additionally, in May of 2025, DPD partnered with the Naloxone Project to unveil three harm reduction vending machines placed outside Denver Police stations. These machines, which resemble newspaper dispensers, provide free Naloxone kits to anyone in the community who wants to carry this potentially lifesaving medication.

Thanks to support from Colorado’s opioid settlement funds, these 24/7 accessible machines are installed at:

📍DPD District 2 Station – 3921 N. Holly St.
📍DPD District 6 Station – 1566 N. Washington St.
📍DPD Police Administration Building – 1331 Cherokee St.

Each machine holds up to 75 kits and will be regularly restocked. No need to enter the station, just walk up and take what you need.

If you or someone you know is struggling with drug addiction, please do not hesitate to reach out for help through Colorado Crisis Services online, by calling 1-844-493-TALK (8255) or texting "TALK" to 38255. Additionally, residents are encouraged to carry naloxone (Narcan) that may reverse the effects of an opioid overdose and to visit DDPHE’s Overdose Prevention webpage for additional potential life-saving information.
