Speeding? In Fort Collins, it may not be a police officer who issues you a citation

By Dillon Thomas | CBS Colorado The City of Fort Collins will soon begin issuing citations for people caught speeding through intersections with traffic cameras. The city will be turning on the speed detection function on their intersection cameras, which before only monitored drivers for running red lights. The change comes after Colorado lawmakers changed state law to allow automated systems to issue citations to drivers for speeding.  Prior to the new law many cities, including Fort Collins, owned and operated speed enforcement cameras. However, they had to be monitored by a human while in operation. READ THE FULL STORY AT CBS COLORADO

Police: In Westminster, burglars are surveilling business owners before breaking into their homes

By Gabriela Vidal | CBS Colorado Westminster police are warning the public about a growing burglary trend in which small business owners are being targeted at their homes. "It started a little bit towards the end of last year. We noticed when I was interviewing some victims. They started saying, 'Hey I own a small business, I'm wondering if this has anything to do with it,' and then we started putting the pieces together, and then it just evolved even further," said Detective Adam Lanning with the Westminster Police Department. Lanning says burglars are targeting small business owners by following them home, placing surveillance cameras at their homes, and studying their victims before finding the perfect time to burglarize their homes.

Window washing at intersections is illegal in Denver, police say

By Rachel Saurer | FOX 31 DENVER It has been months since Denver drivers first started noticing window washers at many busy intersections across the metro area. Now, it is almost a usual sight to see a few men in groups, squeegees and water bottles in hand approaching cars waiting for the stoplight. The Denver Police Department told FOX31 that this practice is illegal, and a couple of months ago, the department began posting flyers across the city to educate the individuals engaging in window washing. They are written in Spanish, with the headlines reading: “The Risks of Cleaning Windshields: It is dangerous, it is illegal.” READ THE FULL STORY AT FOX 31 DENVER
