Honorary WRPD K-9 Layla has a message: Sign up for Dog Walker Watch! 🐶

If you live in Wheat Ridge and love walking your pup, join us on Wednesday, July 15, from 6–7 p.m. at the Wheat Ridge Police Department for this free community safety class.

Dog Walker Watch teaches residents how to recognize and report suspicious activity, helping keep our neighborhoods safe while you're already out enjoying a walk with your four-legged friend. You'll learn what to watch for, what information is helpful to police, and when it's appropriate to make a report.

This valuable program, developed by our Crime Prevention Team, empowers community members to become extra eyes and ears in the neighborhood.

While dogs can't attend the class, we'll have snacks, swag, and bandanas available. Layla loves showing hers off, and we're pretty sure your pup will too! 🤩

Sign up today and help make Wheat Ridge an even safer place to walk, wag, and explore.
