Support the independent voice of Denver and help keep the future of Westword free.
It's the first day of school in many communities throughout the city, and the Denver Police Department is marking it by threatening to ruin the day of drivers who don't take enough care around junior pedestrians. The DPD tweeted the photo above and the message, "FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL: Watch for kiddos -- we're watching you!" Good to know, officer.
Keep Westword Free... Since we started Westword, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Denver, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Denver with no paywalls.
