The law enforcement authorities organize the town hall in Teller County to tackle crime and security

Woodland Park – Managers of the law enforcement authorities in Teller County invite the residents to take part in an open conversation on crime, security and solutions on Tuesday evening.

District Prosecutor Michael Allen, the chief of police of Woodland Park, Chris Deisler, and the sheriff of Teller County, Jason Mikesell, will come together to form a community forum that builds on trust, transparency and cooperation.

The event will take place this evening at 5 p.m. in the Woodland Park City Hall and will be relieved by Don Addy, a long -time lawyer and supporter of Pikes Peak Crime Stopers.

The meeting gives the citizens the opportunity to ask questions, language concerns and better understand how local law enforcement works to protect their neighborhoods. It also underlines the role of commitment to the community in crime prevention.

The Pikes Peak Crime Stopers Group encourages Community members to share anonymously tips that could lead to arrests and convictions – sometimes with cash premiums that are offered as incentives.

“If you know something, say something,” said Addy. “Our task is to give people a platform to share what they know safely and anonymously. Criminal prosecution depends on this information to act and examine.”

Since its foundation in 1981, Pikes Peak Crime Stopers has played an important role in the community, which has led to over 3,700 arrests of crimes and to recover more than 10 million US dollars of stolen property, drugs and cash. Citizens can report tips anonymously by calling on the phone number 719-634 stop.

Addy emphasized the organization's commitment to confidentiality. “We do not ask names or contact information. This anonymity remains protected in our system forever.”

A second town hall is planned for September at the Coronado High School and continues the initiative to promote the open dialogue between residents and law enforcement authorities.
