Lakewood Transitions to Modern Emergency Notification System, Deactivates Outdated Outdoor Sirens:
The City of Lakewood is announcing change to its public safety communication strategy, officially deactivating its outdated outdoor warning sirens at the end of 2025. This strategic decision marks a full transition to LookoutAlert powered by Smart911, a modern, effective emergency notification system that provides real-time, actionable information directly to residents.
Lakewood's outdoor sirens, initially installed to provide general warnings to those outdoors, have reached the end of their service life. Their effectiveness is limited by distance, weather, background noise, and their inability to reach residents indoors. Furthermore, these sirens provide only a generic alert, offering no specific information about the type or location of the emergency.
LookoutAlert powered by Smart911, the official emergency notification system for Lakewood and all of Jefferson County, is designed to be your most reliable source of information during critical events like severe storms, wildfires, or floods. Unlike the old sirens, LookoutAlert powered by Smart911 provides detailed, lifesaving information exactly when and where you need it.
You can join LookoutAlert in two ways: go online to LookoutAlert.coor download the Smart911 app from the Apple App Store or Google Play. No matter which you choose, you’ll get emergency alerts for severe weather, safety risks, and other emergencies, and you’ll also create a free Safety Profile that gives 9-1-1 important details to help first responders.
For residents who may need assistance, Jeffcom911 has launched a dedicated LookoutAlert Assistance Line to help with the registration process. The LookoutAlert Assistance Line can be reached at 720-230-2270. Voicemails are monitored regularly, and a representative will return your call within 1-2 business days to help you complete your registration.
The deactivation of the outdoor sirens is a proactive step toward a more secure future for Lakewood. By transitioning to LookoutAlert powered by Smart911, the city is committed to providing its residents with the best possible tools to stay safe and informed during any emergency.

They may be unseen, but their impact is felt in every life saved and every emergency answered.
This week—and every week—we honor the calm, steady voices on the other end of the line: our 911 dispatchers.
In 2024, they answered over 53,300 calls. In 2025 so far? Already more than 14,600.
That’s thousands of moments where lives were changed because they picked up the phone. Behind every siren, every rescue, and every “help is on the way” — there they are.
The voices in the dark. The heart of every response.
This video is a small token of appreciation from all of us at South Metro Fire Rescue, created with gratitude by members across our organization.
Now we’re asking YOU—our community—to join us. Drop a comment, share a message, or tag a dispatcher you know. Let’s flood their week with appreciation.
Happy National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week!
We see you. We hear you. And we’re so grateful for you.
Members of South Metro Emergency Communications recently made a trip to Washington, D.C., alongside hundreds of fellow 9-1-1 professionals. This group engaged with government leaders to address some of the most urgent challenges in 9-1-1 and emergency communications today. A central focus of these critical discussions is the push for the reclassification of dispatchers from administrative professionals to first responders. This initiative is spearheaded by the 9-1-1 SAVES Act, a landmark piece of legislation aimed at reclassifying Public Safety Telecommunicators as a “Protective Service” within the federal government’s Standard Occupational Classification System (SOCS). By securing this reclassification, we can ensure that the vital work of our dispatchers is recognized as an integral part of public safety.
