Set An Alert: Boulder Police Launch Mobile App

BOULDER, CO -- The Boulder Police Department launched a new mobile app this week that will give residents real-time access to news, resources, and alerts. The app is also integrated with the department's online reporting platform, allowing users to make police reports online.

“We are always looking for better ways to communicate with our community. Boulder is a tech-savvy community," said Police Chief Greg Testa in a statement. "We are hopeful that the mobile app platform will allow us to share information directly in a more convenient and timely manner.”

The app is available for free download in the iOS App Store for Apple users or in the Google Play Store for Android users by searching “Boulder Police Department.” A web-based version of the app can be accessed online at www.boulderpdapp.com.

New app users got their first alert on Tuesday morning in the form of a notice about an increased police presence in the 5000 block of Butte in reference to reports of a stolen vehicle.
