*COURTESY NOTICE*

Good morning Town of Wiggins, it was brought to our attention that there were sightings of coyotes in the field east of Sally St., as well as in the adjacent neighborhood. Please consider the following preventative tips to hopefully reduce the number of coyotes wandering into residential areas:

1) Don't feed coyotes: Feeding coyotes can cause them to lose their fear of humans.
2) Dispose of garbage properly: Keep trash cans covered and take out the trash regularly.
3) Remove pet food: Don't leave pet food outside.
4) Remove bird feeders: Bird feeders attract rodents, which then attract coyotes.
5) Remove standing water: Get rid of old tires and watering cans.

Please keep an eye on your small dogs and cats, coyotes will make a quick feast of them. If you see a potentially diseased coyote in your neighborhood during the day, please let us know and we will respond, and/or let DOW know.

Carry on!

It has been a while since we got a decent amount of snow, so we would like to remind everyone that per local ordinance, all snow must be cleared off your sidewalks within 24 hours.

This includes adjacent sidewalks to your property; if you have a corner lot, you have more sidewalk to clear off.

(2) It shall be unlawful for the owner or occupant of any building, property or lot in the town to deposit, place or otherwise locate, or to allow the deposition, placement or location, upon any public right-of-way adjacent to such building property or lot any hazard or obstruction, including, but not limited to, piles of materials, vegetation, weeds, tree limbs, trash containers, structures or sports equipment.

Wishing everyone a safe and Happy New Year!!!

We are out and about, and we promise that a ride from us is far more expensive than calling a friend, using a DD, staying where you're at, or walking.

Save your fireworks, a $250 fine and $65 court fee is not worth three seconds of fun!!!

Our Christmas celebration is almost here! We hope to see you there!

Hello Wiggins,

It looks like we are in the calm before the storm. Take the time to review the information here as a refresher from last year. This may be new information to those who ignored last year's post, or for those of you who are new to Wiggins. It is a violation of State law and Town ordinance for you to push the snow on your property into the Town's right of way, aka the street. Simply push it onto your own property, your grass will appreciate it come Springtime.

Please don't make our Public Works or Police Officers get out of their warm vehicles to remind you of this law!

If you have any questions please let us know.

Drive safe and be kind y'all!

Thank you

Howdy Wiggins!

Are you ready for the big storm?! If not, time is short. Depending on who you believe, we are looking at 1-12 inches of snow. Just in case, please plan accordingly, and get off the roads as soon as you can!

Be kind and stay warm!

Well, power has been restored, as evident by the tornado siren sounding off.

Fire Chief Hinson was kind enough to get out of bed to meet Officer Erickson at the Fire Hall to try and make sure that with any further power surges the siren doesnt go off again.

We are thankful that there is a working siren, just not at 1130 at night in October. 🤣🤣

Have a great night and hopefully you can go back to sleep after the panic wears off and your heart gets out of your throat and back where it belongs!

**** POWER HAS BEEN RESTORED ****

Either half the town forgot to pay their power bill or there is something blown at the substation.

REA has been notified of the outage, but we have not gotten an ETA for the repair.

If you are on an oxygen concentrator or know somone who is, switch them over to a bottle until the power comes on.

If you are on any other medical device hopefully it has a battery backup.

IF YOU NEED IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ASSISTANCE PLEASE CALL 911.

We will be happy to help you until the power comes back on and your devices work like normal.

Hey Wiggins, take a gander at our new rides!

Did you know that after the purchase of a vehicle being used for police service, on average 50% of that initial price is added on to upfit the vehicle with lights, sirens, control modules, computer mounts, radios, radio mounts, prisoner cages, etc? Those prices can be hard on small-town budgets. The vehicles that we purchased already had a majority of these accessories installed, constituting significant cost savings to the Wiggins Police Department budget.

A big shout out to Sven Evelsizer, his crew, and the City and County of Broomfield - Government for their partnership and assistance with getting these two new (to us) police vehicles added to our fleet.

Also, we owe a big thanks to the Morgan County Sheriff's Office, Colorado for letting us borrow one of their vehicles when two of ours died in the same week!

We are blessed to have great relationships with city and county governments and their various departments, near and far.

THANK YOU!
