Request a Cop - Trust Patrol

The Denver Police Department is enhancing its outreach with the following two programs:

  • Request a Cop - Looking to strengthen connections in your community? Invite Denver Police Department officers to your event! Whether it’s a neighborhood gathering, nonprofit initiative, or community celebration, our team is here to engage, listen, and build relationships. Together, we can foster trust and create a safer, more connected community through meaningful interactions.
  • Trust Patrol - Officers visit businesses, neighborhoods, nonprofits, faith organizations, and more to engage with community members in casual, open conversations. These visits focus on addressing crime and safety concerns while fostering trust and building stronger relationships.

Request a Cop - Trust Patrol - Registration Form

Please make a Request a Cop request at least 30 days prior to your event. This form is intended for Community Outreach only.

  • If you are having an emergency, call 911 immediately.
  • If you would like to request an officer to provide security at an event or your business, contact DPD Secondary Employment at dpd.secondaryemployment@denvergov.org for more information.

Safety Education

2025 Self-Defense Program 

Program Overview: The Denver Police Department (DPD) will host several self-defense classes in 2025 to promote personal safety and provide participants with practical, non-violent, self-defense techniques. These sessions will be offered to both City and County of Denver (CCD) employees and community members, strengthening both workplace safety and public engagement.
