Boulder Police Scanner Clips Archive (2024)

This document contains a curated archive of approximately 460 police scanner audio clips from Boulder, Colorado, recorded from May to November 2024. Each entry includes a brief summary of what can be heard in the corresponding audio clip, along with basic call information from the Boulder Police Department’s calls-for-service log.

Scanner traffic reflects information as it is initially reported to dispatch and responding officers and may be incomplete, inaccurate, or later determined to be incorrect. The clips and summaries presented here are not official findings or conclusions. Additional details about individual incidents may be available through official police reports.

Personal identifying information has been removed where possible to protect privacy. Business names and approximate locations are included for geographic context and public‑interest reporting only. Their inclusion does not imply wrongdoing, responsibility, or unsafe conditions on the part of any business or property owner. On the contrary, most businesses in the city deal with these issues sooner or later.

This is not a complete list of calls for this time period. A complete listing would be far beyond any one person’s ability to document. Gaps in coverage should not be interpreted as a lack of criminal activity.
