The Cortez Police Department truly appreciates every anonymous tip our community sends in. Your willingness to speak up helps us keep our neighborhoods safe, and we’re grateful for your partnership.

If something needs attention right away, giving dispatch a call helps ensure we can respond as quickly as possible. Social media pages and websites aren’t monitored around the clock, but our dispatch center, officers, and deputies are available 24 hours a day. A quick call ensures we can respond in a timely manner.

Sending an anonymous tip? Here’s how to make it useful:   Providing details helps us take action. You can share:

• A description of a person
• An address or location
• A vehicle description

For example, a message like “There’s a party and loud music” or “My neighbor is firing guns” doesn’t give officers enough information to respond or follow up. Specifics matter, even when you choose to remain anonymous.

Need a response or follow‑up?   If you’d like to be contacted about your report, please include your name, email, or phone number so we can reach you.

Thank you for continuing to look out for one another.
