Welcome to the Boulder Police Department's Police Blotter.  This is a tool we use to summarize weekly incidents.  The summary is compiled using incidents reported as noteworthy by the watch supervisors at the end of their shift.  It does not include all calls, incidents or self-initiated activity handled by officers.  Whenever possible, case numbers will be included for arrests and cases that are otherwise closed.

The blotter will be posted online daily, Monday through Friday.  Incidents occurring Friday, Saturday or Sunday will be posted by Monday afternoon.  City holidays and other circumstances may delay posting by one or more days. The blotter is provided for convenience only and will continue to be completed as staffing permits.  When requesting a report, please remember that there may be some processing time involved, especially if redactions are required or if additional information is needed from the officer.

Note to media:  The blotter is compiled in the morning using only what information is available and should only serve as a guide for reporters.  The information used to compile the blotter can include, among other things, pass-on information from supervisors or incomplete reports.

Information and details in a case can change throughout the day and during the course of an investigation, but it is generally not acceptable to change information once it has been published in the blotter.  Therefore, please verify all information, either through the public information officer or by requesting the report, prior to printing or broadcasting information contained in the blotter.

If a press release is issued for a case listed on the blotter, please use information from the press release, as it is more current and likely contains better detail than the blotter.
