Confusion. Disbelief. Realization. Horror. A deep grief that would sink into society and shape generations to come. A resolve to rise, rebuild, and stand tall once again. 9/11 is a day forever etched into American memory.

Today, we remember the lives lost, honor the brave responders who ran in, and reflect on the resilient spirit of our nation.

25 years have passed, and the world is a different place in many ways. But some things haven't changed... an enduring commitment to co-create strong communities, to stay vigilant and report suspicious activity, and to build the kind of world we want our children to inherit.

We will 🇺🇸

A teen was injured in a e-moto versus truck collision in Wellington on Wednesday morning.

On September 2, 2026 around 8:40 a.m., LCSO deputies, UCHealth EMS, and Wellington Fire responded to a crash near 3rd Street and Roosevelt Avenue. Based on information gathered at the scene, they learned that a teen on an e-moto (dirtbike-style electric minibike) collided with a Dodge Ram 2500 pickup truck. The teen was transported to an area hospital with moderate injuries. Fortunately, the individual was wearing a helmet and is expected to recover. The pickup truck driver remained on scene.

The investigation is ongoing. Anyone who witnessed the crash should contact Wellington Corporal Eric Schultz at 970-498-5551.

We are extremely grateful to community members who called 911 and stopped to assist the teen. We also appreciate the work of first responders who arrived in less than 2 minutes and provided immediate medical care.

Traffic safety is everyone's responsibility. Whether people are driving, walking, or riding, we urge all travelers to abide by traffic laws, follow signs and signals, stay aware of their surroundings, and look out for each other on the road. Deputies actively work to educate, enforce, and promote traffic safety in our community, but we need everyone to play their part!

The big day is almost here! Come celebrate the official opening of our new Emergency Services building this Friday, August 21. The ceremony will run from10:30-11:00 a.m., followed by a community open house until 3:00 p.m.

This facility represents a tangible investment in the teams who work to protect our community before, during, and after a crisis. Some are staff, many are certified volunteers. All serve in a big way - they work to prevent and fight wildfires. They trek far into the wild to rescue lost and injured hikers. They navigate raging rivers and dive deep to serve Larimer County.

Bring the family, take a tour, check out our equipment, and meet the crews who serve Larimer County in the gnarliest of situations. While you're there, grab a cup of coffee from The Human Bean of Northern Colorado and a bite to eat from Wild Brats and The Taco Man. We can't wait to celebrate this milestone with you!
