BPD Hosted Listening Sessions for Employees

In May 2023, the BPD led two listening session workshops with City and County of Broomfield (CCOB) employees. During the listening sessions, the 35 attendees participated in two hands-on and discussion-based activities. They were asked to consider topics such as concerns they have when interacting with the Broomfield Police Department, important functions of the BPD and things that would be helpful to change at the BPD.

Themes the BPD heard from CCOB saff during these sessions included:

• A desire for increased engagement
• More education about what the police do and why
• Relationship building
• Increase positive interactions
• Continue to address social issues such as mental health, homelessness and drug use

The BPD will consider staff feedback along with community feedback as they seek to understand how to best engage with the community. Thank you to all CCOB employees who participated!
