There are lots of resources available to you!

Here's a list of a few neighborhood favorites:

  • The Southeast Denver Scoop is a newsletter published monthly from District 4 Councilwoman Kendra Black containing neighborhood news and city updates. Sign-up to receive the e-newsletter.

  • The DenverTrack Program is a new program coordinated by the Denver Police Department to help stop vehicle theft. DenverTrack works with any vehicle with an installed tracking device, GPS, or Bluetooth to track stolen cars real-time. You must register for DenverTrack to preauthorize DPD access to the location data (only accessed if the vehicle is stolen.) To learn more and register a vehicle, visit DenverTrack program.

  • 311 & Denver's Online Services Hub (formerly PocketGov) is where you can report issues to the city. The more reports that come in for a particular issue, the higher priority an issue gets. Note: Due to staff shortages and other challenges, the city's response may be delayed. Call 3-1-1 via telephone, or go to Denver's Online Services Hub.
