This Labor Day weekend, celebrate responsibly, and never drive under the influence.

Alcohol, cannabis, and certain medications can impair your judgment, coordination, and reaction time. Before the celebration begins, make a safe plan:
* Choose a sober driver.
* Use a rideshare or taxi.
* Stay overnight.
* Stop friends from driving impaired.

Help keep our roads safe so everyone can enjoy the holiday and return home safely.

A simple conversation led to a special act of kindness.

While patrolling a neighborhood, Officer Herrera stopped to speak with a resident. During their conversation, Officer Herrera mentioned that his daughter follows a gluten-free diet.

Later that week, Officer Herrera was patrolling the same neighborhood when the resident waved him down and surprised him with a loaf of gluten-free bread. The resident’s daughter works at a gluten-free bakery and wanted to do something thoughtful for the officer and his family.

It’s moments like these that show the meaningful connections created through community policing. Thank you to this resident and her daughter for their kindness!

In 2024, 684 adolescents ages 14–18 died from drug overdoses in the United States. That’s an average of 13 young lives lost every week and a death rate of 3.1 per 100,000.

Nearly 63% of these deaths involved synthetic opioids such as fentanyl.

Counterfeit pills can look exactly like legitimate prescription medications. A pill obtained from a friend, online or anywhere other than a licensed pharmacy may contain fentanyl, and you cannot tell by looking at it.

Start the conversation today. Remind your child:
• Only take medication prescribed to them and dispensed by a licensed pharmacy.
• Never take or share someone else’s medication.
• Call for help immediately if someone may be overdosing.

One honest conversation could save a life.

Bike patrol is about more than getting from one place to another. Our police e-bikes allow officers to patrol parks, trails, neighborhoods, community events, and other areas where a patrol vehicle may not be practical.

But perhaps the biggest benefit is connection.

Bike patrol gives officers the opportunity to slow down, be approachable, have conversations, answer questions, hear concerns, and build relationships with the people we serve. It also provides a highly visible police presence in the community and allows officers to move efficiently through areas that can be difficult to access by vehicle.

At the Louisville Police Department, we believe community policing starts with relationships. Sometimes that means simply stopping for a conversation and getting to know the people who make Louisville such a great place.

So, if you see Officer Hamilton or one of our other officers out on an e-bike, say hello!

Today is International Overdose Awareness Day, a time to remember those we have lost to overdose, support those affected, and remind our community that help is available, and a phone call can save a life.

If you believe someone is experiencing an overdose, call 911 immediately. Every second matters.
Colorado’s 911 Good Samaritan Law provides important protections for people who call for help during a drug or alcohol overdose. The law is designed to encourage people to seek emergency assistance without fear that they will face certain drug-related criminal consequences simply because they made the call or remained at the scene.

Calling for help is not getting someone in trouble; it is helping someone stay alive.

Our officers, dispatchers, firefighters, and medical partners respond to these calls with one goal: protecting life and getting people the help they need.

Today, we remember. We raise awareness. And we remind our community:

Don’t wait. Don’t hesitate. If you think someone is overdosing, call 911.

One of the best parts of being a police officer is the people you meet along the way.

Officer Don Adam recently had one of those great moments when he ran into friends he met during his years serving the Louisville community.

For our officers, serving as a police officer is about so much more than responding to calls and enforcing the law. It’s about building relationships, getting to know people, sharing conversations, helping when someone needs it, and becoming part of the community.

Sometimes, those connections last long after the call is over, and you never know when you’ll run into an old friend again!

In July, the Louisville Police Co-Responder Team had 76 connections with the community in Louisville, responding to active calls, providing follow-up, and connecting people with additional resources and support.

The reasons people needed assistance varied, but the most common reason for a call was mental health, followed by substance use/addiction and unhoused/basic needs.

The team also spent over 33 hours riding with Louisville Police officers, putting their expertise alongside officers in the field.

That partnership matters.

Police officers are often the first to arrive when someone is experiencing a crisis. Having a Co-Responder available allows officers to work alongside a professional who can bring additional knowledge, resources, and interventions.

We're proud of the continued partnership between Louisville Police officers and the Co-Responder Team, and the difference that partnership makes in our community.

National Financial Awareness Day

Scams can happen to anyone—and staying informed is one of your best defenses.

This National Financial Awareness Day, take a moment to protect yourself and your finances:
🔹 Protect your personal information. Don’t share sensitive information by phone, email, or online unless you’re certain who you’re dealing with.
🔹 Be skeptical. If an offer sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
🔹 Verify before you click. Confirm the source before clicking links, opening attachments, or providing payment information.
🔹 Strengthen your accounts. Use strong, unique passwords and enable two-factor authentication whenever possible.
🔹 Trust your instincts. If something doesn’t feel right, stop and verify before taking action.

If you suspect you’ve been the victim of a scam or notice suspicious activity, report it promptly.
