| Alert Title | 2010 Census | ||
| Alert Area | Community | Neighborhood | |
| Alert Description | The U.S. Census Bureau is preparing to conduct operations to count the population. Beginning in late February and continuing through August, temporary field staff will work in neighborhoods across the country delivering questionnaires, verifying addresses and collecting information from those who have not returned their questionnaires. Area residents may have questions about the strangers in their neighborhoods. Citizens should know that all employees of the Census Bureau will be identified by identification cards issued by the Census Bureau. If citizens suspect individuals may not be actual census workers, we encourage you to ask to see the worker's identification. If you believe the identification may not be legitimate or the worker refuses to provide identification, contact CSPD Dispatch to report the presence of the suspicious person. |

| Alert Title | GeoCaching | ||
| Alert Area | Community | Neighborhood | |
| Alert Description | There have been three incidents thus far in 2009 where Colorado Springs Police Department Officers have responded to reports of a found possible explosive device and further investigation has revealed that the suspicious item is not an explosive device, but is associated with a popular game known as "GeoCaching". This is a game where individuals hide containers of various types and then post geographic coordinates of the item's location on the internet. Then other players attempt to find the hidden items using GPS devices. The game has gained significant popularity in recent years. However, in some instances this is creating a significant problem for law enforcement. Some hidden items can resemble threat devices in appearance. When law enforcement receives reports of these items, safety protocols are followed until such time as the device or item can be rendered safe or determined not to be a threat. This often includes setting up safety perimeters, evacuating nearby structures and deploying bomb technicians to investigate the scene. This creates a significant drain on manpower and limited fiscal resources. Citizens who engage in the game of GeoCaching are encouraged to do so responsibly. Please don't hide items that resemble possible threat devices. Please use clear containers so that contents are clearly visible if found. Please ask for permission to hide items on private or commercial property. Players may also want to consider notifying law enforcement agencies, by calling police dispatch at 444-7000, if they are placing something in a location that could be discovered and mistakenly considered a possible threat device. Law enforcement does not want to discourage people from enjoying this game, but does encourage players to practice responsible placement of GeoCache items. | ||
