Statewide CodeRed Outage

 
Community members, please be advised that the CodeRed notification system is currently experiencing a statewide outage.
 
The Sheriff’s Office has multiple contingency plans in place to ensure we can reach the public if needed.
 
These include:
 
  • Social media notifications
  • Door-to-door communication, if necessary.
  • The ability to send IPAWS alerts through our partnerships with the Colorado Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Management and Federal Emergency Management Agency
 
Please know that we do have contingencies in place and will continue to keep the community informed.
We will let you know when the situation is resolved.

CodeRED will alert you by phone, email and text about emergencies in your area.  It will also provide you instructions on what to do to protect life and property.

The high-speed system works by sending out pre-recorded voicemails to your phone and email.  The system will notify you about police activity, lost children, wildfires, and other emergencies nearby.

Please encourage friends, family members, neighbors and co-workers to register.  Businesses should also sign up.

All information you provide will be kept confidential.
