Trinidad Police Log Shows Variety of Calls, Community Impacts

On December 2, 2025, Trinidad police recorded a string of calls that illustrate routine public safety work and recurring community concerns. The day began at 00:57 with a neighbor complaint at 222 Beech Street involving reports of banging on a ceiling and ended with a mental health related call at 22:54 with personal information protected under Colorado open records and juvenile protections. Between those entries officers handled animal control calls including a citation on Aguilar Street at 08:20 and a report of a cat in the street at 15:47 near 1100 East Main Street.

Property and public order matters featured prominently. At 10:41 officers responded to a vehicular trespass at 211 Prospect Street where items were reported taken from a vehicle. At 10:14 parties were trespassed from a property on 313 Nevada Avenue. An attempt to locate a vehicle at 13:22 resulted in that vehicle being towed from 300 Camillus. A traffic stop at Colorado and Nevada at 13:26 yielded a verbal warning.

A two vehicle accident at Main Street and Animas at 15:28 required crash response during the afternoon commute, a reminder of roadway safety priorities on the county grid. The blotter also lists several follow up investigations at 323 East North Avenue and 1701 Santa Fe Trail, plus an extra patrol request in the 300 block of Robards Avenue in the evening. A missing person report at 21:14 on Ute Street concluded with the party located at 810 Ute Street, a resolution that reduces immediate concern but underscores continuing needs for outreach and prevention.

For residents this chronicle matters because it shows where police time is spent and where county services intersect. Animal control citations and street animal reports point to demands on municipal animal services. Mental health calls and follow up investigations signal ongoing pressure on crisis response systems and the need for coordinated health and social services. Vehicle related crimes and a tow illustrate property crime and enforcement activity that affect perceptions of safety.

The record also reflects the legal balance between transparency and privacy under CORA and juvenile protections, which limits published personal details while permitting public awareness of neighborhoods and incident types. Local officials and voters may consider these patterns when evaluating public safety budgets, crisis intervention programs, and community policing priorities ahead of upcoming civic decisions.
