Last week, APD was lucky enough to attend the career fair at a local K-8 School. Not just any school!!! The Morgridge Academy at National Jewish Health is a unique place for kids with chronic illnesses.

"Most students who attend our school have severe health conditions, which can include asthma and allergies, diabetes, sickle cell anemia, HIV/AIDS, atopic dermatitis (eczema), juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, interstitial lung disease, cystic fibrosis and muscular disorders. Our dedicated team includes teachers, nurses, a child advocate, school counselor, PE teacher and Fine Arts teacher."

We had a fantastic time talking all things police and showing the kids some cool CSI stuff!

Thank you National Jewish Health

Connecting the gun to the crime through science.

APD uses an in-house bullet trap to test fire recovered fi****ms to see if they have been used in other crimes. The spent shell casings are collected and sent for analysis and compared against National Integrated Ballistics Information Network (NIBIN) data. The shell casings have markings unique to a specific gun. Having the bullet trap saves time, whereas detectives would spend half of a day traveling to and from a range with a large number of fi****ms to be tested.

Today is National School Resource Officer Appreciation Day!

Huge shoutout to our incredible SRO Unit—eight dedicated officers and a sergeant (a former SRO himself) who work tirelessly to keep our schools safe. Their impact is felt across Arvada and Jeffco Public Schools - Colorado, with Arvada PD SROs earning SRO of the Year awards two years in a row!

We’re grateful for their commitment to protecting students, strengthening connections between law enforcement and the school community, and making a difference every day.
