A Message from Chief Dave Hayes, Louisville Police Department

It has been a tough year for the world, Boulder County, the Town of Superior, and the City of Louisville. From the pandemic to the mass shooting at King Soopers, a police car firebombed in Louisville, an increase in mental health issues, and most recently the devastation of the Marshall fire. All of which have impacted our community, and so many lives, including mine.

As the Police Chief in Louisville, I have the opportunity and privilege to see firsthand the sacrifice and dedication of our first responders every day. Including those from across the country, that leave their families and homes to help during tragedies like these. Thank you to all of the first responders, and to our community, for the respect you have shown them. Please keep them and those who have been affected by the fire in your thoughts and prayers. 

We have faced many challenges, and times like this cause me to pause and reflect with humility and self-awareness. We will rebuild and move forward, continuing to provide service and safety to others. Our community is strong, resilient, and supportive, which is something I love and value about Colorado and all of you.
