The Denver Police Department is committed to reducing auto thefts in Denver by utilizing a data-driven approach to identify areas where auto thefts occur and targeting those areas.
Vehicle owners can reduce the likelihood of their vehicle being stolen by parking in a garage when possible or in well-lit areas that have high traffic. Auto theft prevention best practices include keeping doors locked, windows up, and removing keys and/or valuables when parking the vehicle.
Police District Stations have tools to reduce theft of vehicles or theft of items from vehicles including license plates and catalytic converters. To obtain tools, please contact District 3 Police Station which serves Winston Downs. Address is 1625 S University Blvd or phone 720.913.1300
The DenverTrack program works with any vehicle with an installed tracking device, including factory-installed or after-market devices, and GPS and Bluetooth tracking devices to track stolen vehicles in real time. See more INFORMATION HERE
The program requires vehicle owners to register for DenverTrack to preauthorize Denver Police access to the GPS location data only in the unfortunate event that their vehicle is stolen. If a registered vehicle is reported stolen, DPD will then confirm consent from the vehicle’s owner to access the vehicle tracking information in real time, with the goal of quickly locating and returning the vehicle to the owner and arresting the suspect(s).
Vehicle owners can visit www.denvergov.org/DenverTrack to register their vehicle and learn more about the program and additional auto theft prevention tips. Once the vehicle is registered online, DPD will mail DenverTrack stickers to owners to place on their vehicle’s windows to deter potential thieves from stealing their car. Placing a sticker on the registered vehicle is encouraged, but not required. While the program is free to register, a fee from the manufacturer may incur if the GPS system is accessed.
