Virtual Neighborhood Watch Action and Awareness Training, Wednesday, January 13th at 6 pm.  DPD District 3’s Neighborhood Watch program offers a partnership between Officers and the Residents they serve.  Officers promote Neighborhood Connectivity by encouraging Neighbors to get to know one another and by creating awareness through Implicit Bias education – reminding neighbors – it’s the person’s behavior, not the person to be mindful of when observing and reporting suspicious behavior to the Police. (flyer attached) RSVP to D3NeighborhoodWatch@denvergov.org


Simple and inexpensive strategy to prevent vehicle theft. In DPD District 3 more than 2300 vehicles were stolen in 2020. DPD has recommended residents use a steering wheel lock device as a deterrent to vehicle theft. One example of this device is a CLUB steering wheel lock. The CLUB (2 prong) device is available at your local Ace Hardware for $24 and on Amazon for $26. When recently asked, our District 3 CRO’s said to the best of their knowledge no vehicle was stolen in District 3 last year while using a CLUB (2 prong) device. To search crime stats for your neighborhood visit this DPD website: https://www.denvergov.org/Government/Departments/Police-Department/Crime-Information

A few tips to prevent crimes of opportunity –

  1. Do not set out whole, empty product boxes on trash day.  Doing this can alert potential thieves to what type of items are inside your residence.
  2. Turn on your porch light.
  3. Close your garage door after each use.
  4. Lock your vehicles and remove valuables. Use a steering wheel lock.
  5. Leave an appearance you are home at all times.  Collect mail and packages ASAP.

Please reach out to our DPD District 3 Community Resource Officers with any questions or concerns.  West of Colorado Blvd kate.young@denvergov.org  Antonio.pacheco@denvergov.org and east of Colorado Blvd mike.borquez@denvergov.org  matthew.grimsley@denvergov.org

3 Tips for Keeping Your Anilox Rolls Clean

If your business uses flexographic printing, you’re probably familiar with anilox rolls. These cylindrical tools transfer ink from the fountain to the printing plate using small indents called anilox cells. The number of cells on a roll varies and determines how much ink is transferred. One of the most important things you can do to protect the quality of your product is to keep these cells free of residue, but cleaning anilox rolls can get complicated. Before diving in, learn about the various considerations that impact cleaning.

1. Know Why You Clean

Put simply, rolls that aren’t cleaned properly produce sub-par products. When a roll collects residue, it can’t transfer the appropriate amount of ink to the printing plate. The anilox cells become clogged, which decreases their capacity to collect ink and leads to uneven volume distribution across the roll. Ink debris also increases surface tension. If this occurs, some of the ink sticks to the roll instead of transferring to the printing plate. If you don’t use anilox cleaners, you could face reprints, wasted materials and loss of labor or time.

2. Develop a Cleaning Schedule

If you want to optimize your flexographic printing, consider developing a schedule that takes into account various cleaning needs. While your rolls don’t require daily deep cleans, taking a few minutes each day to remove residue with a cloth and cleaning fluid prevents ink deposits from hardening and clogging cells. Even with daily wipe-downs, some residue usually remains. To remove build-up, scrub your rolls with a brush and cleaning product every week or two, ensuring that the brush you use is appropriate for the surface of your anilox roll. Every couple of weeks, consider deep cleaning with a chemical bath or similar process that loosens and removes stubborn residue.

3. Use High-Quality Cleaners

Once you have a cleaning schedule in place, it’s important to select high-quality cleaning products that remove debris without compromising the anilox roll. Before selecting a product, make sure it is compatible with your roll’s surface material and core. When it comes to your daily cleaning fluid, avoid multi-purpose cleaners. If your product isn’t designed for anilox rolls or removing ink, you’ll waste time and effort repeatedly wiping down your rolls. For weekly scrubbing, look to a paste or a cream cleaner to physically break-up the ink deposits that remain despite daily cleaning. Many businesses rely on periodic chemical baths to deep clean anilox rolls effectively. However, some people prefer to use chemical-free methods. Regardless, select a product that targets your specific needs, whether that is water- or solvent-based.

With regular and effective cleaning, you can ensure high-performance printing and extend the life cycle of your anilox roll.

Proposed changes to Denver Marijuana Code Mtg

The Department of Excise and Licenses would like to invite all Registered Neighborhood Organizations (RNOs) and community members to learn more about a proposed draft package of legislative changes to the Denver Marijuana Code. The proposed changes are the product of years of research and outreach, and include local incorporation of new state-approved licenses types and an equity program to provide ownership and licensure opportunities to previously disenfranchised Coloradans.

The Department of Excise and Licenses will be hosting a community feedback session on Wednesday, January 6 from 5:00-7:00 p.m. via Zoom. City staff will explain the proposed changes, and there will be opportunity at the end for members of the public to provide feedback on the proposal.

For more details please see the attached bulletin below and be sure to visit our website.

Questions? Concerns? Unable to make the session or interested in scheduling some time to chat with the Department about the proposal? Email  marijuanainfo@denvergov.org.

In partnership,
