UPDATE ON THE INCREASED LAW ENFORCEMENT PRESENCE IN PROWERS COUNTY

The collaborative efforts of numerous law enforcement agencies contributed to the successful apprehension of an individual sought in connection with a Northglenn Police Department homicide investigation. The suspect was taken into custody during the morning hours of August 16th in Prowers County, after a deadly Friday night stabbing in Northglenn, Colorado. Because this remains an active investigation, the Lamar Police Department will defer to the Northglenn Police Department for information regarding the homicide investigation and the individual taken into custody.
 
The agencies involved with this operation include: Northglenn Police Department, Lincoln County Sheriff's Office-Colorado, Kiowa County Sheriff's Office, Cheyenne County Sheriff's Office - Colorado, Prowers County Sheriff’s Office, Colorado State Patrol and their SOAR team, Colorado Bureau of Investigation, Colorado Parks and Wildlife - Lamar, La Junta Police Department, Springfield, CO Police Department, and the Kansas Bureau of Investigation, with additional support from the Bent County Sheriff’s Office, Colorado Department of Corrections and the US Marshal’s Office. The cooperation and assistance with various outside agencies were invaluable in bringing this situation to a successful conclusion without any additional harm to anyone in the community or to responding officers.
 
The Lamar Police Department also reminds the public of the importance of relying on information from verified sources during active law enforcement operations. Unverified information, speculation, and inaccurate social media posts can create unnecessary confusion, complicate investigative efforts, and divert resources during a rapidly evolving incident. We appreciate the community’s patience and cooperation as law enforcement works to provide accurate information when it’s appropriate to do so.

In conclusion, the Lamar Police Department values all surrounding agencies’ cooperation and dedication to our shared common goal of working together to make the community as safe as possible.
