Westminster, Colorado Police Department. We are a northwest suburb in the Denver Metro area that prides ourselves on the quality of our police work and high level of weekly training. Our department consists of patrol, detectives, K9, SWAT, SET (fugitive unit,) traffic, motors, SROs, Narcotics, and investigations/training/Professional services. Our shift schedule is set so training can be conducted weekly with all shifts. Weekly training will include firearms, arrest control/defensive tactics, officer survival, building searches, active shooter, felony car stops, driving, PIT training, CPR and first aid, investigation, and report writing. Each officer on patrol is issued a patrol rifle by the department; red dot optics on handguns are also optional. (We put on rifle and red dot optic classes multiple times a year.)
