Turns out it does take a village Ofc McKenzie + a few helpful neighbors teamed up to help a disabled senior who locked both keys in his car—lots of laughs, teamwork, & 1 relieved grandpa.
Lock your keys in your car in DUR? — we don’t typically unlock vehicles, but we’re happy to help however we can.

Wishing Durango a safe, calm, and low-drama Thanksgiving. 🦃😅

May your biggest conflict be “pie vs. more pie,” not “call the cops.” Stay safe, be kind, and may your day be full of carbs and zero police reports. 🥧💛 #OneDurango #Thanksgiving #GratefulNotHateful #durangopd

🍻 Drinksgiving in Durango = fun. Drinking & driving = regrets.
Headed out tonight?
🚫 Don’t drink and drive
🚗 Plan a sober ride
🚌 Use DuranGO! microtransit for an on-demand ride in town
Let tomorrow’s biggest regret be too much pie—not a DUI. 🦃🚓 #Drinksgiving #RideDuranGO

📞 Non-emergency: 970-385-2900
Happy Thanksgiving! 🥧

Sometimes the quiet moments say the most. 💛
A resident snapped this photo of one of our officers kneeling in the cold to fix an elderly gentleman’s walker, then staying to chat before heading back to patrol.
Quiet kindness matters. Protect • Serve • Care. 💙

Huge shoutout to Wendy Most – State Farm and her team for treating us to Jimmy John’s and swag today! 🥪🎁
The sandwiches vanished faster than a Subie on North Main. 😎
Thanks for feeding us and lifting us up, Wendy! 🚓💛

🚨 Patch glow-up alert! 🚨
The Durango Police Department is unveiling our new uniform patch and retiring the classic design that’s served us for years. 💙
You’ll start seeing the new look on officers around town as we roll it out — still committed to Protect • Serve • Care in #OneDurango 💛

🚓 Help us welcome Ofc Caitlin Bills to the DPD!
An IL native & daughter of a firefighter, she began her career with the Cook County SO before moving to CO to serve with the San Miguel County SO.
She & her husband are excited to call Durango home. Drop a 👋 to welcome Ofc Bills to One Durango. 💙🏔️

Honoring our DPD veterans this Veterans Day — officers who served in the Marines, Army, Air Force, & Coast Guard before serving Durango. Thank you for your dedication and sacrifice.

Reminder: The DPD lobby will be closed Tuesday, Nov. 11, in observance of Veterans Day. Officers remain on duty 24/7.

📞👶 When the Explorers Preschool calls, DPD answers!
Their crew toured the station, asked elite questions (“Do police cars nap?”), and left loaded with DPD swag.

We’re not saying we’re recruiting early… but we’re also not not saying that. 😉

💙🚔 One Durango.

☀️➡️❄️ Summer’s packed up—your RV should too! 🚐❄️
No storing RVs/boats/trailers in the street & no “street camping.”
Move ‘em by Nov. 1 so the snowplows don’t give them a love tap. 😉
