Reporting fireworks violations
If you wish to report fireworks in your neighborhood, please contact the non-emergency dispatch number, 303-441-4444.
Please do not call 911 to report fireworks unless there is a medical or safety threat. Please do not report through social media or other online options.
If you wish for a citation to be issued, callers reporting fireworks will need to provide a specific address of the violation. Callers will also be required to provide their name and contact information and be willing to testify that they personally witnessed the violation in order for officers to issue a citation.
Anonymous calls will be aired to police units in the field, not assigned, and a unit will only respond if available.
Firework penalties
Offenders can be fined up to $2,650.00 for illegal possession and use of fireworks.
Leave fireworks to the professionals! Personal fireworks can be unsafe, cause injury, and disturb neighbors and pets. Residents are encouraged to safely enjoy the Chamber of Commerce's Independence Day Fun & Fireworks event on July 2, 2022.
