Break-in warning

The Eagle Police Department advises Eagle residents to be aware that vehicle break-ins are common this time of year.

“Vehicle break-ins are a crime of opportunity and can be deterred by taking the time to secure your vehicle whenever you leave it unattended,” said Chief Joe Staufer. “We also highly recommend that you do not leave valuables in your vehicle for any length of time. Please make sure to secure your home whether you will be gone for a quick errand or an extended vacation.”



Residents who notice anything suspicious or anyone acting in a suspicious manner can contact the Eagle Police Department at 970-479-2200 or call 911 in case of an emergency. Keep in mind that all crimes should be reported immediately.
