Teen Focus Group

The first of many listening sessions kicked off this past Thursday with the teen focus group! 20 teens from the Broomfield area participated in various engagement exercises led by officers such as cardstorming and small group conversations. Some themes included concerns about school and traffic safety, uncertainty about what to do if approached by an officer, and a desire to see the BPD foster more trust and interactions with the community. Their honest feedback will be helpful as the BPD continues the summer listening tour and meets with various community groups. Thank you to everyone who participated!

If you’d like to participate in an upcoming session, you can register for the July 10 session which takes place 5:30-7:30 p.m. at the Broomfield Community Center. The BPD is also reaching out to groups and organizations in Broomfield to host a more focused listening session for their members. If you are a part of a group interested in holding a listening session, contact Commander Kent Wichlacz at 303-464-5717 or kwichlacz@broomfield.org.
