DO NOTHING POLICE DEPARTMENT. District 6 Cops neither Serve nor Protect. I am a homeowner and resident in District 6, our property has a repeat Trespasser, RODNEY ALLEN TATE, who DPD Dist. 6, despite nightly calls from residents and owners, and the HOA President, despite a No Trespass Agreement on file with the City, despite multiple opportunities to arrest Mr. Tate sight on scene, refuses to timely respond to calls, and waits so long (over 2 hours on occasion) that TATE is no longer there by the time DPD shows up. On the rare occasion that they have responded in time to witness him in the act of trespassing - which is a crime against property and the people who reside here- they give him a warning. Case in point, they did this on Sunday March 23rd and guess what, RODNEY ALLEN TATE was BACK on 03/24/2025! When called to respond on 03/24/2025 they waited nearly an hour to respond, by which point TATE was gone again. This has been going on since before OCTOBER 2024, and DPD Dist. 6 has only managed to effectuate an arrest once. Abysmal. DO YOUR JOB DPD Dist. 6. read more

UPDATE: 12/2/2022 After 3 previous appearances in court. my lawyer and I told the city to bring it on. Once they saw I wasn't going to lay down for them to walk all over, the district attorney finally watched the video and found out they didn't have a leg to stand on. All charges were dropped. Now we are filing a civil lawsuit against the city. read more

If i could give no stars to this joke of a district i would, called about a hit and run last night and waited 4 and a half hours for a police officer to arrive just so i could get access to the cameras that might've captured a plate. every female operator i had spoken to was unsympathetic and rude, i was told over the phone this was not the case of an emergency and pretty much my situation wasn't worth an officers time. all i wanted to do was file a report. all i asked for was an officers 15-20 mins of time so i could go home after not leaving the scene for hours. if my life was in jeopardy i would not be convinced the police would be able to do anything anyway. i drive all day and see these feds all over the place, dick in hand. but when someone really needs them they're nowhere to be found. read more

They showed up for something else, yet didn't address my concern. They seemed a bit immature and gave off frat boy vibes.

Had to file a report regarding my stolen/missing scooter. They made the process quick and painless.

At 32 weeks and with no food stamps when I arrived in Denver paid hotel and harassed at the train station I called he cops and was dropped off by the star program they had food, jackets, and pants I explained to them they dropped me off at my hotel and decided it was not their problem after having to calk the police once again to report missing funds thy told me to talk to stars about food when I called again 911 they sent them out and I was told to stop bothering the 911 department and that they do not need to assist me with finding info or food banks and that I need to leave town because there is nothing here for me. I was yelled at and mocked it was uncalled for and after reporting to the manager of Star nothing came from it just ignored read more

Called to ask simple questions about filing a report for a hit and run. Whoever I spoke with was rude and unsympathetic. His advice was terrible and quite frankly made me feel even worse about the situation. I'm not a cop so I don't know how the law works and, this being my first experience with anything like this, I'd hope to speak with someone a little kinder. I've just honestly never spoken to someone who I felt like gave less of a sh*it than this guy did. Great waste of my tax money. read more

There have been multiple car windows shot out, things stolen out of cars, in addition to home break ins and burglaries all on the same street (that I and a lot of other people live on and park their cars on every day) the past couple of weeks. Multiple people have called in and reported this issue, just asking for some patrol around our neighborhood to maybe prevent this from happening so often and provide a sense of safety. The only response we get from the deputy is that they're aware of the issues and to "lock your things up and hope it doesn't happen to you." THERE IS AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL TWO BLOCKS AWAY. For the police who are supposed to SERVE AND PROTECT the people of this city to just dismiss this issue after there have been several complaints is absolutely unacceptable and unprofessional - they're compromising our safety. I am absolutely ashamed to live in a community where our primary defense won't even take care of us. We were all taught to go to the police for help in bad situations. "Oh you've been robbed? Call the cops." Yet here we are, calling and calling, filing report after report, yet absolutely NOTHING has been done. Do your duty. I will continue to express my concern on every platform available until something is finally done to resolve this issue. read more

some people judge cops way to much and it's rude and unnecessary. Cops have rules and things they have to follow and they have a chief who tells them what needs to be done. So by you going after them doesn't help or solve anything. At least these cops are risking their lives everyday for us in ways you won't always see. They also have to be able to protect not only themselves but others too. Yes I agree there are some cops who shouldn't be cops but most cops care and want to help if you give them a chance. You also have to realize that just because they didn't come down exactly nice doesn't mean they don't care it just means they deal with not so great people so when people don't listen they don't want to deal with it. Listen I don't know everyone's stories but not all cops are bad and I think you should try and realize that. I have interacted with the District 6 police 3 days in a row and honestly they are quite nice people. One more thing you have to consider is that just because they don't show up fast enough or help you in a way you wanted doesn't mean they don't care they are just so backed up in Denver there's not always enough police. read more

Completely unhelpful...after I had filed the report, the man helping me told me they would not look into my incident and I could not file another report anywhere else once it is done. If I would have known, I would have tried going somewhere that actually gave a shit. read more

They are the worst we had to get CBI and the FBI involved on a simple harassment case. Now we are invol ved in an assault that resulted in injury and I was told that they will not investigate because a sergeant stated I could not bruise easily- he also stated he had no background in the medical field and he was not aware of my medical history. He also used the offenders as witness statement instead of other patrons or civillians that were not involved. When he arrived on the scene, I had to tell him to conduct an investigation as he stated he wasn't going to do anything and he was going to wait for my lawyer. He didnt even look at the injury because he knew off tops that I could not bruise that easily. This is so poor of an investigation I thought he was at officer status. Thank God their is people above them! read more

I was assaulted with a deadly weapon on the Sunday of memorial day weekend 2019. The police showed up and did nothing. There was a huge welt from a bike combination lock on my back and the police wouldn't arrest the other party because they "had" one anonymous witness who claimed I started the fight. I'm 5' 8" and 135lb. The other person was the same height with more than 40lb on me. I'm not dumb enough to start a fight. The only reason they wouldn't arrest him is because I kicked some of his teeth out. I did this because I spent more than half of my life training in martial arts. When you know how to fight you learn not to start the fight. The police were useless and I would have been better off finishing the fight on my own and leaving the man in the street. Unfortunately that's not the right thing to do. The police have made me hesitant to do the right thing in the future. They just didn't want to write a police report on a holiday weekend Sunday. Joke of a police force. read more

Police District 6 - The man on the far left is the one who assaulted with a deadly weapon. These police thought a 135lb kid attacked him and his friend first... - Police Departments Near Me - Denver, Colorado

I've been very impressed with the police of District 6. Commanders, detectives, patrolmen, you name it. They take on a tough job, and from what I've seen they do it well. Where I work is right on Colfax in Capitol Hill. This neighborhood and the downtown neighborhoods are "the gritty inner core" of Denver, and there's plenty of knuckleheads - and the District 6 officers get to deal with them day-in and day-out. I've been here since the mid '90s, and all the incidents (except one) I've seen in this Colfax neck of the woods have been handled with professional patience and brains - more patience than I could ever muster. I was tempted to give 4 stars instead of 5 because there's still a lot of stoned idiots and rowdy drunks, but then again, it's not the Police's fault that people have a civil right to choose wisely or foolishly. Thank you DPD. read more

Yesterday an officer from District 6 had to remove a transient from the flower bed at a hotel. The transient was unable to stand on his own, and wouldn't even try, he could barely communicate. The officer showed such care and compassion, gently helped him to his SUV. I was impressed. He took so much time, and care and patience with this person, which took so much time, despite his self imposed state and horrific physical condition. I was touched. Thanks to the officer from District 6, reminded everyone in the restaurant across the street who were commenting on the humanity he showed, for someone in a horrible situation and condition, he still treated him with respect. read more
