If you received a CodeRED email this morning or got a call or a text message - well done! You are successfully registered on the CodeRED emergency notification system. Jeffcom 911 tested the system today on behalf of Jefferson and Broomfield County law enforcement, fire and emergency medical service agencies. The test began at 9 a.m. this morning and took several hours.
The CodeRED emergency notification system
allows you to be quickly notified by your local emergency response team in the event of emergency situations or critical community alerts, including, but not limited to, evacuation notices, bio-terrorism alerts, boil water notices, and missing child reports.
If you did NOT receive a test message and think you should have, or if you are just now learning about the CodeRED system, you can go to
your911.net to register for the notifications.
Please keep reading for more happening in Golden, and h
ave a great week!
