Combined Services

The Broomfield Police Department Detention Center and Training Facility also houses the Broomfield Police Department’s Training Division.  The Training Division contains both the Training Unit and the Emergency Management Unit.  This consolidation of services has resulted in the efficient training and dissemination of knowledge to 146 Broomfield police officers and dozens of other agency officers.  The Training Division hosts many different training classes and seminars for both internal training as well as for other agencies.  The Training Division has also been host to several of Colorado’s elite law enforcement and institutional agencies furthering the Department’s goal of playing a major role in Colorado’s law enforcement community.  The Training Division has worked with State organizations including the North-Metro Drug Task Force, Rocky Mountain Institute of Traffic Safety and County Sheriffs of Colorado (C.S.O.C.).

The Department's range is located southwest of the Detention Center and Training Facility.

The Emergency Management Unit (EMU) consolidated multiple government functions into one efficient operation.  The EMU’s mission is to implement a comprehensive emergency management program consisting of preparedness, mitigation, response, and recovery with the intentions of producing a disaster-resistive community.  The EMU started the Multi-Agency Emergency Planning Committee (MAEP).  This committee created the All-Hazard Emergency Operations Plan (EOP), designed to research, plan for, and implement various strategies for a wide variety of emergency situations.  Participants include the North Metro Fire Rescue District, Qwest Communications, Avista Hospital, as well as many others.  The EMU also created the Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC).  This committee is designed to gather and disseminate information from experts in the fields of firefighting, health care, law enforcement, environmental groups, community groups, and the media.  This information is available free of charge to any public or private organization and can be quickly accessed in the event of an emergency.
