About DP3The acronym DP3 stands for Denver Public - Private Partnership. DP3 represents the Denver Police Department's effort at forming a partnership with private security professionals in the City and County of Denver.
The centerpiece of DP3 is a broadcast alert communication network whereby DP3 members receive up-to-the-minute information regarding security threats, crime trends and incidents-in-progress, upcoming major events, BOLO (Be On the Look Out) announcements, and the like.
Additionally, DP3's website will post crime prevention information, and have links to their partner organizations' websites. These sites have many valuable resources relating to security, domestic preparedness, and major incident planning.
Benefits of MembershipThe DP3 homepage will post public information and links, but members will have additional privileges. DP3 members, after a limited background and records check, will receive email or text messages and alerts. Members will also have access to the DP3 archives of past alerts and the document library.
Who Should JoinEligibility for membership in DP3 is limited to security directors and supervisors having an established proprietary or contractual security force within the City and County of Denver. They may also designate members of their staff as being eligible for membership. Access to the DP3 site, however, is open. A brief email to
DP3@ci.denver.co.us expressing interest in membership is all that is required, and you will be contacted with instructions and an application. Applicants will undergo a brief computer records and background check as part of the application and approval process.
