Our officers wear jeans as their uniform pants. The Aspen Police Department offers a number of crime prevention services, from business and residential security surveys, to crime prevention seminars, and vacation home watch. It is illegal to sleep within vehicles, including recreational vehicles, in the City of Aspen. To clean city streets and identify abandoned vehicles, it is illegal to leave your vehicle parked in the same location on city streets for more than 72 hours. The Aspen Police Department supports Tipsy Taxi and encourages any intoxicated person who has no other means to get home to use this wonderful service.
DUI enforcement is active all the time, particularly in the evening, seven days per week.
To keep people and pets mixing nicely in our town, the City of Aspen has a leash law. All people in the City appreciate you cleaning up after your pet and keeping your dog leashed. We encourage you to carry a baggy of some type to clean up after your pet. To that end we ask that all motorcycle users be sure that their machines be equipped with an adequate muffler that is in constant operation, and prevents any excessive or unusual noise. No person shall modify the exhaust system in a manner that will increase the noise emitted, from a level above that originally installed on the motorcycle.
