Larimer county is 2,640 square miles and is comprised of both urban and rural mountainous areas.  Due to the unique location and size of the county, providing law enforcement services is a challenging endeavor.  The law enforcement jurisdiction is broken down into seven Areas.  

Areas 1 through 5 are known as our "Valley Patrol" due to the fact they are comprised of the urban areas of the county to include the cities of Fort Collins and Loveland.  

Our Mountain Squad is made up of Areas 6 and 7, which constitutes the majority of our rural mountainous areas.  Area 6 covers the Estes Valley and operates out of a satellite office, while Area 7 covers the Red Feather, Livermore, and Glacier View areas.  The Patrol Division is also tasked with providing contracted law enforcement services to the citizens of the Towns of Wellington and Berthoud.

Crime Mapping

LexisNexis® Community Crime Map connects law enforcement with the community to reduce crime and improve public safety. Crime mapping helps the public get a better idea of the crime activity in their area so they can make more informed decisions about how to stay safe.
 
Community Crime Map goes beyond crime mapping by automatically alerting the public about recent crime activity and by improving communication between the public and law enforcement through anonymous tips. Community Crime Map empowers the public to make better decisions about crime by putting the same technology used by law enforcement to analyze and interpret crime activity into the hands of the public.
