Does your cellphone keep accidentally calling 911? 📱

If you have an Android, you can help keep our phone lines clear of "pocket dials" and accidental calls by downloading a lock screen replacement app from Google Play.

Follow these steps to disable your old lock screen. 👇

While working as a Firefighter/EMT, Diann Pritchard was always curious to know what happened on the other side of the radio. And so when she saw an ad for a dispatch position, she seized the opportunity. Now, she's the Comm. Manager at Cripple Creek PD and on the Authority Board!

@zekedorrhome Hi Zeke. We will have someone contact you soon. Thank you for letting us know.

To our friends of 9-1-1, the Fourth of July is one of the busiest days of the year for 9-1-1 call centers. Please use 9-1-1 for emergencies only and contact the non-emergent line to report illegal fireworks (in which there is not an immediate threat to life or property).
