Police Departments
Winter Park- Fraser Police Department
In May 2005, began providing law enforcement services to the citizens
and visitors of the Towns of Fraser and Winter Park. The Fraser-Winter
Park Police Department is comprised of eight full-time Law Enforcement
professionals who have a sincere desire to reduce crime through
Community Policing.
The patrol division consists of five full time Officers and one
Sergeant. These Officers are responsible for carrying out the basic
functions of the Police Department; which include protecting life and
property, maintaining public order, being first responders to
emergencies, motor vehicle traffic safety, making arrests and
enforcement of laws and ordinances. Patrol Officers also spend their
time building relationships and partnerships with the community to
assist in the prevention of crime.
The Detective Division consists of one Detective, who reports to the
Chief of Police. The Detective is primarily responsible for the
investigations of all serious crimes, conducts follow-ups and reviews
felony cases. The Detective is also responsible for the Property Room.
Since the inception of the Detective Division in November 2006, 46% of
cases have been cleared. The national clearance average is 20%.
Kremmling Police Department
Apparently comprised of a police chief and four officers. No other
information available, aside from a couple articles:
Sunday, August 31, 2008 - The department bought 2008 four-door,
four-wheel drive Chevrolet Colorado pickup at the beginning of the year,
said Kremmling Police Chief Scott Spade. But it wasn’t until this month
that the vehicle was equipped with emergency lighting and other gear
needed to put it on the streets for official police business. This is
the department’s first four-wheel drive vehicle.
The $23,000 vehicle will allow the department to respond faster to
emergency situations that require more difficult driving, such as road
closures or forest fires. This is police department’s fourth vehicle;
there is one for each officer. The truck replaced a 2002 Chevrolet
Impala, which will go up for bid shortly.
Monday, September 1, 2008
- A Kremmling police officer has started his own business teaching
others how to defend themselves in a course on carrying a concealed
weapon. The firearms classes he offers are not through the Kremmling
Police Department, but Bob Dillon’s experience as a police officer is
beneficial to his students.
“I just believe in armed citizens,” he
said. “I always have and always will.”
Dillon, 52, formed the corporation, 4BarD Enterprises Inc., last May,
and already the number of people signing up for the Basic Concealed
Carry course this year has doubled. About 230 people already signed up
to take the course this year, compared to the nearly 100 students who
registered last year.
“It snowballed,” he said, adding that his children help him out a lot.
“It’s becoming more than I can do on my own.”
“A reason for the sudden increase of numbers could be because people are
concerned that the concealed weapon law could alter after the
presidential election. Democrats have always favored gun control, Dillon
said.
People travel to Kremmling from across Colorado to participate. He
offers a reasonable price for the class, he said.
“This course teaches confidence,” he said. “(It’s) for somebody who
wants to protect themselves.”
The Basic Concealed Carry course is eight hours and can be completed in
one day. Dillon allows 20 students in each of his classes. He informs
participants about the Colorado statues related to concealed carry
permits, weapon and safety information. Dillon said the business uses
the “best equipment” and allows participants to use his firearm if they
don’t own their own. Only five people are allowed to possess a weapon
and shoot at a time at Blue Valley Sportsman's Club Range, located on
Colorado Highway 9, 11 miles south of Kremmling. Each participant shoots
100 to 150 rounds at the range that day. Shooting improves after only 20
rounds, he said.
“Our main concern is that everyone’s safe,” Dillon said. “We want them
to feel that they can win if they get into a confrontation.”
Carrying a concealed weapon is a right of Colorado residents. Crime is
lower in states that allow gun permits, he said.
“It is a deterrent,” Dillon added. “The bad guys don’t know who has a
gun out there.”
If students pass the course, they receive a certificate that allows them
to apply for a concealed weapon permit.
After the course is completed, students can continue to learn in the
advanced classes he offers. He also teaches defensive shotgun and
assault rifle classes. Students in the self-defense class learn, “how to
avoid getting in a situation, but if you do get in a situation, how to
get out of it,” Dillon said. A concealed weapon permit is “good for
anyone,” he said.
About a quarter of his classes are attended by women. People from all
occupations sign up, including doctors, lawyers, judges, construction
workers and students, he said.
“I get a kick out of watching them,” he said. “It ends up being a real
fun day.”
Dillon has been a police officer for nearly 20 years. He is the chief
executive officer and main instructor at 4BarD Enterprises Inc. He is
chairman of the local chapter of Friends of the National Rifle
Association Foundation. He is certified as a police firearms instructor
in handgun and shotgun; certified by the FBI in shotgun and pistol; and
is certified by NRA in police handgun, police shot gun, police patrol
rifle, as well as a certified pistol and personal protection instructor.
State Patrol
Grand County is in CSP District 4. There are no CSP Troop Offices in
Grand County.
Fire Departments
Grand Lake Fire Protection District
Three stations with 5 career firefighters and 35 volunteers. The Grand
Lake Fire Department is a small combination fire and rescue agency
serving the greater Grand Lake area from County Road 4 North to Rocky
Mountain National Park. We respond to structure or wildland fires, motor
vehicle accidents, technical rope rescue, medical requests for help and
everything in between. We are actively involved in emergency response
preplanning and in providing the best free public education programs
possible.
We seek to attract dedicated, professional volunteer members who are
interested in serving their community as firefighters, rescue
technicians, medical responders and support personnel. The benefits of
membership are many, not least of which are providing critical emergency
response services to both residents and visitors to our area.
Kremmling Fire Protection District
This is a mostly volunteer department with 1 station, 1 career
firefighter and 17 volunteers.
Sunday, August 31, 2008 - The Kremmling Fire Department’s new
$80,000 Wild Land Engine Type 6 fire truck is officially in service,
said Fire Chief Tony Tucker. It will carry 300 gallons of water, 15
gallons of Class A foam and five personnel. Class A foam is an additive
that “puts fire out better (and) quenches it,” Tucker said. This is the
department’s fourth vehicle designated to fight wildfire.
“We have two Type 6 (trucks) now,” Tucker said, adding the other truck
is 28-years-old. (Classification tells what a truck is capable of. Type
one is for structural fires and has the largest pump capacity while Type
7, the smallest, is strictly for wild land fires.) The new truck fits
into tight spaces, which is helpful in wooded areas. Tucker said
wildfires are the department’s second biggest call generator, after auto
extrication calls. The tax paying portion of the district is
138-square-miles, but the area it serves is “much greater,” he said.
“The truck gets paid for through district funds, but a lot of our
wildland fires are out of district,” Tucker said, adding that some
people who are serviced don’t pay taxes to the district. The department
sent letters to some of the ranches outside of the district to ask for
donations to help pay for the truck, “because the people right here in
Kremmling aren’t going to benefit from a wild land engine,” Tucker said.
Three of the ranches sent in donations, he said. The fire department
bills people when they respond to structural fires or car wrecks outside
of the district, he said.
Granby Fire Protection District
One station, 1 career firefighter and 34 volunteers.
November 28, 2007 - The Granby Fire Department in Grand County has built
the most expensive volunteer fire station in Colorado, according to a
statewide survey of fire stations conducted by 9News. The Granby station
boasts 24,000 square feet, nine bays, $3,000 flat-screen televisions and
a kitchen designed to look like a 1950s diner. In all, the station and
furnishings cost $4 million when it opened in September 2006, making it
more expensive than most stations manned by full-time firefighters.
Grand Fire District voters approved the new headquarters station, a
training tower, resident quarters, a satellite station and the purchase
of firefighting equipment in a bond issue in May 2004. In fliers that
went to voters about the bond issue, Grand Fire District officials
called it a "prudent, no-frills package."
Hot Sulphur Springs/Parshall Fire Protection District
Two stations operated by 10 volunteer firefighters
East Grand Volunteer Fire Department
Two stations with 50 volunteer firefighters.
Search and Rescue.
Grand County Search and Rescue has been in existence since the late 70's
and was officially organized and incorporated in 1985. We have grown
from a loose cadre of volunteers, horsemen and concerned citizens,
initially organized as a sheriff's posse to aid victims of backcountry
emergencies, to a full scale rescue team servicing all of Grand County.
With the growth of Grand County as a recreational destination our role
to provide mountain search and rescue services has dramatically
increased.
In 1995 we became fully accredited members of the national Mountain
Rescue Association by demonstrating team competence in all aspects of
mountain search and rescue, including avalanche rescue, technical
rescue, search techniques, leadership and communication skills. We
reaccredited with the MRA in June of 2000 - see some photos from the
weekend. Additionally, we are strong in specialized scenarios particular
to Grand County including snowmobile search and rescue and swift water
rescue.
Through our affiliation with the Mountain Rescue Association and the
Colorado Search and Rescue Board we can effect mutual aid search and
rescue operations not only in Grand County, but wherever we may be
needed in Colorado or other states.
A volunteer non-profit organization dedicated to saving lives through
search, rescue and mountain safety education. There is never a charge to
the public for our services.
The men and women who make up the Grand County Search and Rescue team
are tied together by one common goal - helping people. We often help
people who are lost or injured in our mountain terrain. Every once in a
while we get the opportunity to save a life. That's what keeps us going.
Vertical evacuation training. We are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a
week , 365 days a year with a fully qualified team of trained personnel
to deal with any search or rescue within our scope. We will go out on a
search in the middle of a blizzard on a winter night because we are
trained - and because we are needed.
Our mission load averages 40-50 callouts per year. We have assisted
skiers, snowmobilers, hikers, hunters, snowshoers, climbers, rafters,
fishermen, mountain bikers and lost children. We have been on scene for
car wrecks, bus wrecks, airplane accidents, forest fires and train
derailments. When the public is in need of mountain search and rescue
services, GCSAR is there.
GCSAR members perform many hours of public service work besides actual
searches and rescues. We are on active standby for many Grand County
happenings including mountain bike events and cross country ski races.
Our members put on safety programs for school children, backcountry
skiers and snowmobilers. Each member spends an average of 100 hours
training annually to maintain skills and expertise in mountain search
and rescue techniques. Many of our members travel cross state to
participate in trainings and missions as required at their own expense.
All team members provide their own personal gear without reimbursement.

Pre-disaster Mitigation Plan
In our attempts to reduce the impacts caused by disaster, Grand County
is updating plans for preparedness, mitigation, response and recovery.
One of those plans is the Pre-Disaster Mitigation Plan (PDMP). The
process includes historical data, input from citizens via a survey in
late 2005 and government agency recommendations.
The purpose of this plan is to identify goals and objectives for actions
that minimize of help reduce the potential negative impacts caused by
the prioritized hazards.
The
Grand County Pre-Disaster Mitigation Plan DRAFT is available here
for review. This DRAFT is currently being reviewed by the Grand County
BOCC for adoption.

Police Departments
Breckenridge Police Department
The Breckenridge Police Department provides services to a mountain
resort community that is frequently listed as a favorite destination for
skiers in North America. The department is committed to a community
policing philosophy.
The Breckenridge Police Department includes the following positions:
Chief of Police, Assistant Chief of Police, (5) Sergeants, (2)
Detectives, (15) Patrol Officers, (2) Non-Sworn Community Service
Officers, (3) Administrative Personnel. With a budget of over $2.6
million, the department handles over 12,000 calls for service annually.
Ride Along Program
The Breckenridge Police Department encourages civilians to ride with
officers for a limited time during their work shift. This allows the
civilian to see what an officer does on a day-to-day basis and also
allows potential applicants or future officers to get a feel for what
police work entails.
Emergency Operations Plan
The Town of Breckenridge recently completed its Emergency Operations
Plan, which is an annex to Summit County’s Local All Hazard Emergency
Operations Plan. This plan will be modified as we continue to work with
the County and other municipalities in seeking improvements.
The ability to respond to a man-made or natural disaster is a necessary
function for town government. Our plan includes planning and
identification of responsibilities, warning and evacuation,
communication, direction and control, public information, resource
management, damage assessment, emergency health and medical services and
sheltering.
Being prepared starts with you. Following a disaster, community members
may be on their own for a period of time because of the size of the area
affected, lost communications, and impassable roads. You should plan in
advance what you will do in an emergency. Be prepared to assess the
situation and have on hand whatever emergency supplies you need to take
care of yourself and your loved ones for at least three days, maybe
longer.
Consider making a kit. Think about fresh water, food, and special items
your family will need such as daily prescription medications, diapers,
formula and pet food. It is possible that the power will be out and you
will not have heat. Have warm clothing for each family member.
Develop a family communications plan. Your family may not be together
when disaster strikes, so plan how you will contact one another. And
lastly, be informed. Research what kinds of disasters, both natural and
man-made, are most likely to occur in your area.
Dillon Police Department
The Town of Dillon enjoys one of the lowest crime rates in the State of
Colorado. The Dillon Police Department is a contemporary police agency
of ten dedicated and talented individuals that operate under a Community
Policing Philosophy. This philosophy directs officers to form
partnerships with the community, while traveling on foot, bicycle or
patrol vehicle, in an effort to get to know citizens on a first-name
basis, and solve problems collaboratively.
Volunteer Program
Volunteers have the opportunity to give back to their country, state and
city through the hours they volunteer. Volunteers also gain valuable
insights into the law enforcement system and how it works. They have the
opportunity to help enhance services, enabling police to respond more
effectively to enforcement and policing priorities. Civilian volunteers
donate their time serving in a variety of positions: victim services,
community relations, administration and patrol.
The Dillon Police Department ride-along program
offers the opportunity for interested citizens to observe the
patrol function of the office by accompanying a patrol officer on a
regular tour of duty. Any person 16 years of age or older may request to
participate in the ride-along program by completing an
Authorization to Ride in a Police Car form and submitting it to the
Chief of Police at least two weeks prior to the requested date.
Ride-along forms can be obtained on the web or by coming into the Dillon
Police Department. If the applicant is under the age of 18, a parent or
legal guardian must sign the form.
Frisco Police Department
The Frisco Police Department includes the following positions: Chief of
Police, (3) Sergeants, (3) Detective, (7) Patrol Officers, (1) Non-Sworn
Community Service Officers, (2) Administrative Personnel.
Silverthorne Police Department
The Silverthorne Police department consists of twenty-three personnel:
eighteen officers and five civilians. We offer a variety of special
assignments and career enhancers not normally found in smaller agencies;
i.e. K-9, tactical team, drug task force, detective positions, DARE, and
numerous community outreach programs. We are able to offer these types
of specialty duties because we work cooperatively with other law
enforcement agencies in the county. The department is committed to
training its personnel to reach their potential, and we have a "healthy"
training budget to support that commitment.
DUI ENFORCEMENT
The goal of the Silverthorne Police Department is to educate community
members on the effects of alcohol and to reduce the number of
intoxicated drivers and alcohol related incidents within the town. The
departments, along with other Summit County law enforcement agencies,
local business owners, and the Summit Prevention Alliance, have formed a
Drunk Driving Prevention Committee. This committee looks for ways to
reduce drunk driving and to provide late night transportation services
for those residents and guests of Summit County who have consumed
alcohol.
BIKE PATROL
The Silverthorne Police Department incorporates bicycle patrol in order
to enhance its ability to provide law enforcement services to the
community. Officers performing bicycle patrol will be assigned a regular
patrol district or to special enforcement activities such as: Factory
Outlet Stores, Skate Park, trails and park patrols, targeted crime
areas, safety education in schools, and special traffic enforcement
projects.
Neighborhood Watch
The Neighborhood Watch program is a proactive approach to crime
prevention in higher crime areas. This program partners the residents of
a neighborhood with the police department, working together to address
specific problems. Once problems are identified, everyone works together
to come up with solutions that are then implemented to address the
problems.
High School Internship
The police department has a program in cooperation with the Summit High
School for students that are interested in a law enforcement career to
apply as an intern with the police department. The internship generally
last for one semester and the student earns credit hours towards their
graduation. Tasks assigned to the intern vary; however they are geared
toward providing the student with information about the criminal justice
system, mixed with a limited amount of "hands on" public contact.
Ride Along Program
The Silverthorne Police Department encourages civilians to ride with
officers for a limited time during their work shift. This allows the
civilian to see what an officer does on a day-to-day basis and also
allows potential applicants or future officers to get a feel for what
police work entails.
Blue River Police Department
No Information available at this time.
State Patrol
Colorado State Patrol, District 6, Troop Office (Frisco)
SWAT
Summit County Special Weapons and Tactics Team resolves critical
incidents such as: hostage situations, barricaded suspects, drug raids,
and service of high-risk warrants. They respond to incidents that pose a
high risk to the safety of the public and/or officers involved, and
which require the training, weapons, and skills of a tactical team
and/or hostage negotiator. There are currently twenty members of the
Summit County SWAT team.
DRUG TASK FORCE
The Summit County Drug Task Force is a multi-agency unit that
investigates illicit drug activities within the county. The Drug Task
Force also provides training to its sponsoring departments and citizen
groups.
Citizen Academy
Have you ever wanted to feel what it’s like to be a police officer? If
you are a Summit County resident, you have the opportunity to experience
life as an officer by attending the Citizen Academy. The Citizens’
Academy is a 10-week program, in conjunction with Silverthorne, Frisco,
Breckenridge, and the Summit County Sheriff’s Office, designed to
provide Summit County residents and merchants with first-hand
information about how the local law enforcement functions. The academy
prides itself as a fun-filled way to gain a better understanding of law
enforcement.
In a classroom setting, often enhanced with field trips and tours,
citizens explore various aspects of law enforcement, including criminal
investigations, arrest control, detention operations and general patrol.
K-9 and SWAT duties are just some of the "field trip" topics to be
covered, along with hands-on "shooting" at the outdoor “live” firing
range. Each class provides insight into the challenging tasks police
officers and investigators must face daily. Instructors are veteran
officers who teach in their own areas of expertise. Participation in the
academy requires a commitment of one night a week, 6:30 p.m. to 9:30
p.m., for the 10-week period. There is no fee for the academy, but each
academy is limited to 10 to 15 individuals, 21 years of age or older.
Once an academy is full, applicants will be placed on an eligibility
list for the next academy. Citizens’ Academies are held approximately
every six months.

Copper Mountain Fire Department
One station with 7 career firefighters and 25 volunteers.
Lake Dillon Fire Protection District
Five stations with 3 career firefighters, 9 volunteer firefighters, 8
non-firefighter employees and 14 non-firefighter volunteers.
Special Districts, like the Lake Dillon Fire Protection District, are
funded by property taxes and fees. LDFPD is funded by the taxpayers
through their property tax. We attempt to provide the best coverage for
our area at the least cost to our taxpayers. We are proud of the
services we provide and conscientiously seek ways to improve these
services. LDFPD is a career organization. We are dedicated to
functioning as a “career” department. While LDFR
is no longer accepting volunteer firefighters, LDFR has
"grandfathered" a few volunteer firefighters as a phase-out of the
volunteer component. The Department still maintains, however, a
volunteer opportunity for interested persons in the Tactical Assistance
Group (TAG), which provides logistical and communication support during
extended or large incidents.
Lake Dillon Fire-Rescue offers the community the following services:

Summit County Search & Rescue
SCRG is dedicated to providing active members with opportunities to
continue their education in snow and avalanche rescue, technical rescue,
search management, medical certifications, and the leadership skills
that will carry over into everyday life. With the knowledge and skills
we acquire through our membership in the group, the team must have the
proper gear to achieve success. Technology advancement has given us the
tools to conduct safer, quicker, more reliable means of search and
rescue operations. We have jumped on the technology bandwagon with help
of the Summit Foundation, our biggest financial supporter. They have
provided grant money for avalanche response kits, radios and pagers,
vehicle upgrade (both on and off road), two Orion Rescue Sleds, team GPS
(Geographic Positioning System) units, and countless other items of
vital equipment.
High Country Training Center
The Training Center was completed on October 1st, 1999 and the Grand
Opening was held on October 23rd, 1999. The facility is located at 225
Summit County Road 1003 (The County Commons) in Frisco, Colorado.
This state-of-the-art training facility has been built with the combined
resources of four Summit County Fire Districts (Copper Mountain, Lake
Dillon, Red White & Blue, and Snake River). The HCTC is built to satisfy
the safety and functional requirements of all fire department
categories. Search and Rescue, emergency medical services, dive rescue,
and law enforcement agencies will also benefit from the facility.
The High Country Training Center is committed to providing professional
and quality fire service and rescue training. We are in the business to
save lives and help increase the number of trained firefighters. The
best firefighters, volunteer or career, are well-trained professionals,
ready for anything.
All facilities are available for rental to career and volunteer
departments and other emergency agencies. This facility will provide
your organization with theoretical, as well as practical, hands-on
training in simulated emergency environments.

Membership Goals:
Our target goals for voting age self-reliant survivalist members:
Grand County: 13,406 population x 15% = 2,011 members
Summit County: 28,296 population x 15% = 4,245 members
Total voting age members wanted: 6,256, although half that would make a BIG
difference to the counties.
If you already live in Summit or Grand Counties,
contact MEG to let us know!
