On behalf of members of the 澳门开奖结果2023开奖记录 and the city of Boulder police departments, we would like to thank you for your questions and feedback in the wake of our coordinated emergency responses to three separate incidents: a SWAT response to a report of shots fired at the Millennium Harvest House hotel on Feb. 20, a call of a person with a gun near Boulder High School on Feb. 22 (ultimately determined to be part of a series of unfounded 鈥渟watting鈥 calls which occurred throughout our state) and a search for a shooting suspect near 澳门开奖结果2023开奖记录鈥檚 family housing late Monday night, Feb. 27.听

We realize that students, faculty and staff at 澳门开奖结果2023开奖记录, especially those whose addresses fell within the shelter-in-place zones, are receiving a higher than normal number of emergency alerts from various sources, including 澳门开奖结果2023开奖记录 alerts and Everbridge alerts, and we want to be sure community members understand the purpose, timing and dissemination of each type of alert.

Shelter-in-place orders sent to two different neighborhoods near the 澳门开奖结果2023开奖记录 campus in both the Millennium hotel incident and the Boulder High School call were issued through . University populations in the impacted areas would have received the Everbridge alerts听after the university opted-in students, faculty and staff with Boulder addresses听last fall semester.听听

CUPD assisted BPD in responding to these incidents. The two police agencies regularly work together to respond to calls, especially those near campus for which the university is piloting an expanded alert area. It鈥檚 not unusual for a campus community member with an address in an impacted area to receive both Everbridge and 澳门开奖结果2023开奖记录 alerts. to learn more about CUPD's relationships with other law enforcement agencies.

It is our shared goal to keep all community members informed of incidents that could impact their safety, and to share confirmed information and instructions as quickly as possible. Please ensure your contact information is correct in Everbridge and the university portals.
