Title	Other			Location	Ft. Carson, Colorado
Summary	On April 23, 2009, The Colorado Springs Police Department's Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Unit began a proactive on-line investigation into the distribution of child pornography via peer to peer networks. The inquiry began to focus toward a suspect(s) that may have been distributing child pornography electronically from privately owned computers at the U.S. Army Ft. Carson Military Reservation. There is no evidence that computers belonging to the U.S Army or the federal government were involved. This information was shared with military authorities, and the ICAC Unit opened a joint investigation with the Ft Carson Criminal Investigation Division (CID). On May 21, 2009, the investigation resulted in the arrests of two soldiers’ stationed at the post. They have been identified as Micah Rochet, Age 22, and Michael Morris, Age 21. Both were arrested without incident on Ft. Carson for Sexual Exploitation of Children, a class four (4) felony. They remain in custody at the post. At this time there is no evidence that any children in this region were victimized by these suspects. Because of the military nexus, the investigation has been handed over to CID. These investigations are an excellent example of the collaborative efforts that often result in the arrest of suspects in these kinds of crimes across and outside of the country. A crucial factor in the prevention and apprehension of suspects engaging in these activities is education of the public. The Colorado Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force has its own website for just that purpose. Information about internet safety, and photos and descriptions of arrested suspects are just two examples of the available data. The website can be found at www.coloradoicac.com. Sgt. Bill Dehart is the supervisor of the Colorado Springs Police Department Computer Forensics/Internet Crimes Against Children/Registered Sex Offender Unit, and a member of the Colorado Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force. He can be reached for comment about this release or future feature stories at 719.444.7808, or at DEHARTBI@ci.colospgs.co.us.

Title	Arrest			Location	7625 N. Union Boulevard
Summary	Officers were dispatched to the Good Company Restaurant, 7625 N. Union Boulevard, on a reported man with a gun outside the business. Officers arrived quickly, to find the described male running away from the restaurant towards N. Union Boulevard. The male was spot lighted by another officer, re-entering the business through a back entrance. Upon re-entry, the male was detained by two of the restaurant's employees until taken into custody by pursuing Officers Laurence and Hayden. The investigation revealed the detained male had recently been released from the State of Texas prison system. He had earlier, within close proximity of the restaurant, menaced a patron with a black semi-automatic handgun he had concealed beneath his shirt and tucked into his waistband. Upon flight from officers, the handgun was discarded in one location and the magazine containing 13 rounds in another. K-9 Officer Strevett located the .40 caliber Glock handgun in a grassy area adjacent to the business and Officer Balka found the magazine on the west side, adjacent to the rear patio of the business. A person having possession of a firearm in the State of Colorado and having a Felony conviction is prima facia evidence of Possession of Weapons by a Previous Offender, a Class Five Felony. In addition, officers levied charges of Menacing with a deadly weapon. The male was made to post bond and the investigation is continuing. There is a possibility that Federal charges will be brought against this male by the U.S. Attorney, if deemed appropriate by that agency.

Title	Other			Location	I-25
Summary	Recently Colorado Department of Transportation increased the speed limit on the majority of I-25 within the city boundaries from 55 mph to 65 mph. Traffic surveys conducted by CDOT prior to the change indicated that the average speed of the vehicles travelling I-25 in the posted 55 mph zone was 69 mph. The Colorado Springs Police Department Motor Unit anticipated the increase in the speed limit for months so to preserve the Unit's integrity the unit has conducted only limited enforcement. The traffic crash problem continues along I-25. Crash data indicates that we continue to have numerous crashes along I-25. The Department continues to recieve numerous call for service for reckless and speeding drivers on a daily basis. So to address the concerns starting on Monday, January 26 thru January 30, 2009 the CSPD Motor Unit will conduct traffic enforcement on I-25 on all lanes of traffic. Our goal will be to obtain voluntary compliance for all traffic laws on I-25. 01/26/09 DUE TO WEATHER AND ROAD CONDITIONS THIS DETAIL IS DELAYED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE:
