BPOA/police chief boost reward in officer assault case
Oct 22nd
The Boulder Police Officers’ Association has announced a joint effort with Boulder Police Chief Mark Beckner to dedicate additional money for a reward leading to the arrest and conviction of the suspect in the recent assault on Boulder police Sgt. Jim Byfield.
Combined, the BPOA and the police department will add an additional $6,000 to the existing reward of up to $4,500 that is being offered through Northern Colorado Crime Stoppers. This will bring the maximum reward in the case to $10,500.
Sgt. Byfield was seriously injured last weekend when he was attacked by a man who was suspected of slashing the tires of two marked police vehicles.
Anyone with information about this crime is asked to contact the tip line at 303-441-1974. Those who have information but wish to remain anonymous may contact the Northern Colorado Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or 1-800-444-3776. Tips can also be submitted via the Crime Stoppers website at www.crimeshurt.com.

Riding with The King – In A Police Car
Sept. 24, 2010
Just sent in my app for the Boulder Police Dept’s “Ride Along” program. If they accept me this will be the first time I’ll be in a Police car without the cuff’s on.
I think this is a very cool program. I mean, it’s not everyday you can actually “ride along” with an On-Duty Police Officer. That means if there’s a call for a cop and my officer is nearby – I could be first on the scene. This poses all kinds of excitement and fear. Here’s my list of things I hope I get to be in on. And things I hope to avoid.
Excitement:
Arresting a city politician for any reason. Like chewing gum too loudly.
Cat up a tree. I wanna see if BPD saw Steve Martin’s Roxanne and just opens a can of cat food at the base of the tree.
I’ll be able to count how many times we stop for coffee and doughnuts.
CU Campus food riot.
Report of woman mowing lawn naked.
Fear:
Report of a man mowing lawn naked.
Fatal auto accident.
Riot at Boulder County Jail.
Osama Bin Laden spotted at Mustard’s Last Stand.
A routine background check on a speeder turns up an old warrant on me.
If they accept me I promise a full report. In return if they arrest me and I need bail money – you promise to ante up!
More to come…
