Lakeside Police Department

The Lakeside Police Department (LPD) is the municipal law enforcement agency serving the Town of Lakeside in Jefferson County, Colorado, a small municipality located immediately west of Denver. Despite the town's very small population, the department provides full police services and protects a community that includes Lakeside Amusement Park, Lake Rhoda, commercial areas, and surrounding residential properties. The department provides patrol, traffic enforcement, criminal investigations, crime prevention, records services, and general public safety operations. The Town of Lakeside emphasizes integrity, vigilance, collaboration, and community partnerships as core values of the department. The department operates with a relatively small team compared with neighboring metropolitan agencies. Its organizational structure includes administration, operations, and records, with officers and supervisors providing law enforcement coverage for the town. The department also works with surrounding Jefferson County agencies and other regional law enforcement partners when incidents require additional resources.
