Wonder if they have a missing persons case to go along with this.

Broomfield PD has actually been working two missing juvenile cases since December, both female. I hope and pray the body wasnt one of those girls. One was 14 and the other was 15, i believe.

 

[NeFire242]

Well I hope its not one of those two. I'd venture to say as bad as the body has decomposed and how they described it perhaps its been there since the Fall, or late Summer. The cold would have helped to slow the process and preserve the body and the scene.

Hopefully though some hair samples, DNA testing, and measuring the bones they can come to a conclusion at the time of autopsy.

Will have to keep up on this case.

They have announced an arrest in this sad case. If they prove it's him, hang the SOB high.

To be this fast on a arrest for murder, they must have some serious evidence. Did the kid leave a sign or something?

Heard them arresting this guy last night on the scanner. They coded the channel (emergency traffic only) while they made entry, which makes me think this guy was a real sleeze bag and was probably armed. Hope he gets the needle..

Wow, good police work.

When they close the channel, do they make their system do the console "beep" every few seconds? I've heard pro and cons to this, and one being like you said on a felony take down or arrest, what if an officer goes to key-up to talk in a hot situation like that and his radio bonks because at the same time the system console is putting out that beep over the channel? That could be scary. I've seen some systems still do it even when they roll over to digital and while other systems when they've been upgraded have just dumped that from their consoles.

Broomfield PD is a great agency. Professional and courteous officers/dispatchers/detectives/ect. Broomfield has one of the lowest crime rates, and highest arrest rates in the state.

I don't know of any agencies in Colorado that uses the beeps. They just say "All units code 1 on channel 1. Move all other Traffic to Channel X."

Many of the mountain departments use the tone when they put there primary vhf channels on emergency traffic.

Here in Greeley, they just say "All units clear channel 1(usually) for unit XXX, take all other traffic to clearance(usually)" Also, no beep. Greeley is great when it comes to clearing their channels quickly when an officers requests...
