Community Response Impact Team

About Us

The Community Response Impact Team (CRIT) consists of five full-service police officers and a sergeant assigned to specific communities of interest to establish problem-solving partnerships with residents, apartment managers and business owners.

Mission

The mission of the CRIT is to address criminal activity and statistical trends that have a negative impact on the quality of life for citizens of Arvada. The team concentrates on high crime areas and problem properties that present a drain on patrol and the criminal investigation bureau.

  • Identify and resolve crime-related issues to improve the quality of life in those neighborhoods.
  • Apply creative and advanced technical resources to provide support and concentrated law enforcement efforts toward achieving long-term resolution of high crime areas and problem properties.
