Denver police received 550 calls about fireworks in May and June, but issued no citations.
Colorado law prohibits fireworks that leave the ground or explode, and Denver goes even further with its ban on patriotic pyrotechnics: All personal fireworks are forbidden in the city year-round, even sparklers, with penalties reachingDenver police received 550 calls for service regarding fireworks from May 1 through June 30. In that same time frame, police issued zero citations and made no arrests related to fireworks, according to the Denver Police Department .
"Many complaints are not addressed due to the fact that officers are responding to other calls for service that may be more urgent," he says. The Jefferson County Sheriff's Office has multiple patrol units assigned specifically to fireworks calls, but they have not issued any citations for fireworks so far this summer, says Public Information Officer Karlyn Tilley. The sheriff's office prioritizes fireworks incidents involving injury or fire, but like Denver, Tilley says Jefferson County has struggled with reports that lack details.
