7/10…10:08 am…Zone 3…Bear Paw Lane South: BIS received a call from a member regarding a suspicious male walking in the area. The individual was described as a white male, late 40s to early 50s, with a beard, wearing jeans and a hoodie, and carrying a backpack.

The BIS Officer arrived at 10:15 AM and located the individual. The male inquired who had reported him, stating that a vehicle had followed him around the neighborhood. (Note: BIS Officers do not disclose the identity of members or reporting parties to anyone, except when required by legal authorities.)

After a brief conversation, the Officer verified that the individual was a construction worker assigned to a nearby house on Bear Paw Lane. The Officer logged the individual’s information for future reference and cleared the call at 10:30 AM.

7/10…11:53 am…Zone 6…Ivy Brook Lane: A BIS Officer received a call from a non-member regarding a group of homeless individuals staying in an empty lot in the area. The reporting party was advised that the property owner would need to request their removal and that the matter should be referred to CSPD.

The BIS Officer did not respond to the scene. It was noted that a possibly homeless male had been previously reported in the area on July 9, 2025. The information was logged for sharing with other BIS Officers and for continued monitoring of the area.

No calls regarding this matter were received from BIS members.

7/11..8:17 pm…Zone 7…Briarwood Place: A BIS member contacted the on-duty BIS Officer to report that two coyotes had been seen in the space between their house and a neighbor's. The member stated they witnessed the coyotes attack their cat and then ran toward Broadmoor Avenue with the cat in their possession. The BIS Officer responded and arrived at 8:19 p.m. The officer did not observe the coyotes on the street and checked the surrounding area but was unable to locate either the coyotes or the cat.

7/13…Nothing reported.

*7/14…2:49 am…Zone 2…Elm Ave: While patrolling the area, the on-duty BIS Officer observed a suspicious vehicle parked on Elm Avenue, east of Gentry Lane. The vehicle was a white Audi four-door sedan with Colorado plates. It appeared suspicious because the expiration year had been scratched off the rear license plate. The vehicle was occupied by a Hispanic or Black male, estimated to be in his late 50s to early 60s, wearing shorts and a dark-colored t-shirt. The man appeared unconscious or asleep, slumped over in the driver’s seat.

When the officer approached, he observed that the man was breathing normally but still appeared asleep or unconscious, leading the officer to suspect the driver may have been under the influence of a substance or alcohol. As the officer was returning to the patrol vehicle to notify CSPD, the man started the vehicle and quickly drove off, turning south onto Fourth Street, then proceeding across Lake Avenue onto Tanglewood Drive. The vehicle was last seen turning east on Broadmoor Avenue.

After returning to the patrol vehicle, the officer checked several side streets in an attempt to locate the suspicious driver but was unsuccessful. Nothing unusual was observed at the original location where the vehicle had been parked, and no damage or evidence of a collision was found in the immediate area. The officer noted that the vehicle had not been seen in the area before. CSPD was notified of the incident, including the vehicle and driver description, and advised to be on the lookout for a potentially impaired driver.

Note: Although this posting covers activity from 7/7 to 7/13, the early morning incident on 7/14 at 2:49 AM is included because it occurred during our graveyard shift, which began on the evening of 7/13 and extended into the early hours of 7/14.
