Flyer for Home and Business Security Camera Registry

This 100% voluntary program helps you and your neighbors in the event a crime is committed in your neighborhood. The registry allows for police officers to readily identify known locations throughout Thornton that have video monitoring systems that could potentially aid police with criminal investigations.

Catalytic converters are a target for thieves due to the value of the metal inside the converter.  Here are some tips:

  • Parking in well-lit areas close to public entrances.

  • Installing an anti-theft device.

  • Installing motion-sensitive lights and cameras in your parking area.

  • Picking up a catalytic converter etching kit, etching your VIN number into the catalytic converter, and registering it into a database to alert law enforcement and scrap metal dealers that it was stolen and assist in identifying the owner.  For more information on obtaining a kit, contact the Criminal Investigations Division at 720-977-5030.

Come to Thornton PD headquarters at Thornton Parkway and I-25 to safely drop off your unused medications. Keep these unused drugs out of the hands of the people who shouldn’t have them.
