Today, we pause with Red, White & Blue Fire Protection District in solemn remembrance of the nearly three thousand lives lost on September 11, 2001. Twenty‑five years later, the heartbreak, heroism, and lasting impact of that day remain deeply felt across our nation and within our Breckenridge community.
We honor the first responders who ran toward danger without hesitation—firefighters, police officers, paramedics, and everyday citizens—many of whom made the ultimate sacrifice.
Today and always, the Breckenridge Police Department stands committed to serving our community with integrity, compassion, and remembrance.
We will never forget.

Hoy nos unimos al Distrito de Bomberos Red, White & Blue Fire Protection District para recordar con respeto a las casi 3,000 personas que perdieron la vida el 11 de septiembre de 2001. Veinticinco años después, el dolor, los actos de valentía y el impacto de ese día siguen presentes en nuestro país y en nuestra comunidad de Breckenridge.
Honramos a quienes respondieron a la emergencia y corrieron hacia el peligro para ayudar a los demás: bomberos, policías, paramédicos y ciudadanos. Muchos de ellos dieron su vida para salvar a otros. Hoy y siempre, el Departamento de Policía de Breckenridge mantiene su compromiso de servir a nuestra comunidad con integridad, compasión y respeto, sin olvidar a quienes perdimos.
Nunca olvidaremos.

Bears aren’t just hitting neighborhood trash—they’re getting into commercial dumpsters too. Keep lids closed and latched. Educate staff, tenants, and visitors. Secure it. Protect wildlife. Keep bears wild

We took a different scam call today. This one is where scammers pretend to be a bank (not your bank in fact, just a random bank) and then transfer you to someone claiming to be a police officer. They try to scare you by saying you’re under investigation or involved in human trafficking and ask for any kind of personal details like your date of birth or driver’s license — sometimes even telling you to download Microsoft Teams so you can meet with the prosecutor.

What you need to do and know if you get this call:

• HANG UP IMMEDIATELY!
• Do not give ANY personal information.
• Do not download any apps they request.
• Law enforcement will NEVER call you like this.

Just a friendly reminder that school starts this week!

As classes resume, please take a moment to refresh yourself on our local school‑zone safety rules.
Did you know the speed limit changes in school zones when school is in session?
• Breck Elementary (French St.): 15 mph when lights are flashing — fines double
• Upper Blue (Airport Road): 20 mph when lights are flashing — fines double

Please be extra cautious when traveling near Breck Elementary on French Street and Upper Blue on Airport Road.
Slow down, stop at crosswalks, and keep an eye out for small children, bikers, and walkers—especially during drop‑off (7:30 to 8:30am) and pick‑up times(3:15-4:15pm).
We want everyone to have a safe and positive start to the school year.
Thank you for staying vigilant, watching for pedestrians, and doing your part to keep our students and community safe!
