WHAT WOULD YOU DO? It may seem like it can only happen in movies or narrated in your favorite non-fiction book, but what if you find yourself or your family in alife-threatening situation and you have a leading role. What would you do? Would you know how to react? Sometimes what may seem as aneasy decision will be one of the most difficult to make and any wrong move could cost you.

The Greenwood Village Police Department wants citizens to be prepared with critical information to know if you ever find yourself in a tryingsituation that puts you in the wrong place at the wrong time. Knowing proper procedures to follow will be vital to surviving any dangeroussituation or confrontation.

BEING STALKED A stalker is someone who willfully follows, watches, and/orharasses another person. A stalker may constantly followsomeone in person or via surveillance, appear at a person’shome or work, make harassing telephone calls, leave writtenmessages or unwanted gifts, repeatedly appear at places whereyou are for no reason, threaten or make obscene gestures, orvandalize another’s property. Stalking also includes using theInternet or other electronic devices as a way to harasssomeone.

TEN SIGNS THAT YOU ARE BEING STALKED 1. Lurking Around Your Workplace

Or Your NeighborhoodDo you bump into the same person after work or at thegrocery store? An occasional run-in could be a sign offate, but repeated meetings could signal stalking.

2. Being WatchedThe watcher will follow you from a distance, gatheringpersonal information about you and your life.

3. Repeated Phone CallsYou will receive multiple calls every day from someoneyou know only casually.

4. Inappropriate GiftsSome stalkers begin by sending flowers to indicate aromantic interest. When their affections are not returned,they follow up with sending inappropriate gifts.

5. Finding Yourself In The Position Of Needing To Be RescuedMany stalkers enjoy the feeling of playing the hero andwill create situations that require you to be rescued such

as a flat tire. The stalker will suddenly appear to help yousolve your problem.

6. ManipulationStalkers are always looking for interaction with theirvictims and will often lead a game of manipulation inorder for the victim to intervene. The stalker maythreaten suicide, or hurt another person if you do notreturn their affections.

7. Internet StalkingMany victims receive numerous emails from their stalkerseach day.

8. Defamation Of Character Or InsultsStalkers will try to isolate their victims from family andfriends. They release character-damaging information inthe hopes that their victim withdraws from their socialcircle.

9. ViolenceThe use of threats or violence to frighten their victims is

ENSURING A SAFE community

The Greenwood Village Police Department works to protectresidents and businesses from crime, but to effectively sustain acrime-free environment requires an active, engaged, and awarecommunity. Remember — the most important single act you can

do is to be aware of your surroundings at all times and call thePolice to report crimes or suspicious activities! By going withyour instincts, your actions could help deter a crime in progress orsave the life of a neighbor.

a common strategy used by stalkerssuch as the victim’s car beingvandalized or their homeburglarized.

10. Cumulative UnwantedContact of any kind ofstalking is often subtle, yetpervasive. If it makes you feeluncomfortable, tell your stalker tostop and contact the Police.

TYPES OF STALKERS Psychologists have classified stalkersinto three broad categories: • Love Obsession — This type of

stalker develops a fixation onanother person with whom theyhave no personal relationship. Thetarget may be a casual acquaintanceor even a complete stranger. Thesestalkers seem to want to live out afantasy with their victims.

• Erotomania — This type of stalkerholds a delusional belief (a paranoiddisorder) that they are being lovedby their target, even if it is notexpressed.

• Simple Obsession — This type of

stalker has some previous or currentpersonal or romantic relationshipwith the victim. These include alldomestic violence cases, as well asintimate and casual datingrelationships, co-workers, andcasual friends. Rejection oftentriggers this type of stalking.Stalkers turn to threats and violenceas a means of re-establishingcontrol of the victim.

WHAT SHOULD I DO IF I AM BEING STALKED? • If you are in immediate danger, you

should call 9-1-1.• If someone is following you, never

go home. Go to a safe place such asthe nearest police or fire station.

• Firmly tell the stalker to leave youalone. Do not negotiate with yourstalker.

• Keep a diary and record everyincident in detail.

• If you have a restraining order,make several copies and have one

on you at all times. • Save any packages, gifts, messages,

voice mails, or letters from yourstalker.

• Inform friends, family andneighbors of the situation so theycan watch out for you and thestalker cannot get informationabout you from them.

• To keep your address confidential,get a post office box and use it onall correspondence.

• Check your home security to besure that every door and window inyour place has locks.

• Learn how to protect yourself. • Reconsider your daily routines and

try to vary your movements. Theless predictable you are, the moredifficult it is for anyone to trackyou down.

• Avoid being alone. You will feel lessvulnerable with company.

OUR NATURALenvironmentWATERQUALITY:EVERYONE PLAYS A PART Most people thinkwater pollution comesdirectly from a factoryor other knownsource. However, thebiggest source ofwater pollution ispeople. Collectivelyour behaviors canhave a profoundinfluence on waterquality in ourreservoirs, ponds, andstreams, harming theenvironment and thepeople that interactwith it. That is why itis extremely important for people toclean up their act when it comes totheir actions with water.

Since 1998, the Village has helpedspearhead efforts to improvestormwater quality in the Village andin Cherry Creek Reservoir. Most ofthe Village’s efforts have focused onremoving pollutants from runoff afterrainfall or snowmelt before the runoffreaches the gulches and creeks, andCherry Creek Reservoir. One of themost abundant pollutants that affectthe Village’s gulches and creeks isexcess nutrients. This is especially trueof Cherry Creek Reservoir. TheReservoir suffers from periodic algaeblooms during the summer monthswhich impairs the ability of theReservoir to support fish and alsodiminishes the recreational enjoymentof the visiting public.

Nutrients, such as phosphorus andnitrogen, are necessary for plant life to

survive and grow. When adequatenutrients are available, the algae andother plant life grow enough toprovide food for the fish and otheranimal life in the water. However,when excess nutrients are available,algae grows too quickly to be eaten bythe fish and causes the algae bloomsthat are visible at the surface of thewater. When algae die, the deadmaterial sinks to the bottom anddecomposes. As the materialdecomposes, the oxygen that is in thewater is depleted, jeopardizing the lifeof aquatic habitat, and recreationalopportunities for users.

THE FACTS OFSTORMWATER OR RUNOFF When it rains or snows it causes waterrunoff to flow downhill. While itseems that this runoff simplydisappears when it flows into a street

grate or inlet, it flows through stormsewer pipes and is directly dischargedinto the environment. Many peoplemistakenly believe that runoff istreated but in fact, it flows untreateddirectly into local streams, creeks,ponds and lakes where wildlife liveand people swim, fish and recreate.

The mistaken belief that runoff istreated results from amisunderstanding of sanitary andstormwater systems. Generally mostindoor water fixtures such as a sink,toilet, bath and shower are connectedto the sanitary sewer. Water producedby these fixtures is treated at awastewater facility where the harmfulcontaminants are removed and theclean water is released into theenvironment. Water produced by rain,snow, lawn watering and car washingbecomes part of the storm sewersystem. In contrast to a sanitary sewersystem, a storm sewer system collects

G O V E R N M E N T


runoff that is never treated. It is transported and released intodrainageways such as local creeks, ponds or lakes.

HOUSEHOLD ITEMSIMPACT WATER QUALITY Many everyday items such as pet waste, grass clippings,engine oil, fertilizers or other everyday household itemsaccidentally become part of the storm sewer system. When itrains, water falls to the ground and washes over thesepollutants. These pollutants are then carried with thestormwater to local creeks, ponds and lakes, such as CherryCreek Reservoir. These pollutants decompose and make thewater murky, green, smelly and even unusable for swimming,boating, or fishing. Pollutants affect drinking water suppliesand can cause severe illness to humans.

YOU CAN DO YOUR PART Understanding that stormwater is not treated water is animportant reason for citizens to play a primary role inkeeping our storm water clean. Becoming aware of theoutcome of everyday activities will reduce the chances ofpollutants becoming accidentally introduced into our waterand the environment. • Maintain your vehicle and small equipment so that it does

not leak fluids. • Properly dispose of pet waste by throwing it away with

your trash. Pet waste stations are available at many Villageparks and trails.

• Follow lawn fertilizer, herbicide and pesticide labelinstructions and clean up spills promptly and according tomanufacturer instructions.

• Do not litter. • Properly dispose of or compost yard waste.

• Participate in the Village’s Residential Household WasteCollection Program by calling 1-800-449-7587.

• Control erosion by encouraging plant growth or groundcover on bare soil.

• Never put any materials into the curb and gutter, stormdrain or ditch. This includes organic materials such asgrass clippings, leaves and soil.

• When emptying swimming pools, dechlorinate the waterand never discharge directly into a storm sewer or roadsideditch. Because a grass lawn can help filter pollutants, thedischarge point should be as far from the street as possibleto maximize the filtering effect.

For more information about water quality in the Village,please call Public Works at 303-708-6100 or visitwww.greenwoodvillage.com. GGVV

One gram of dog waste can contain 23 million fecal coliformbacteria that can harm water quality in creeks and rivers, andalter the ecosystems of these stream corridors impacting fish andother aquatic life.

CITIZEN MANDATETO PRESERVE OPEN SPACE ANDPARKS UNDER WAY In 2011, Village voters approved aballot measure that amended the CityCharter to restrict the disposition orsale of open space leading the Villageto ensure all of its open space andparks are rezoned as open space. At theJuly 16 City Council meeting, theCity Council approved revisions to theLand Development Code andmodified the definition of the OpenSpace Zone District to protect theparks and open space in GreenwoodVillage from being sold for futuredevelopment and preserving suchlands for the enjoyment of allgenerations.

“The ballot measure was intended toprotect land designated as open spacein perpetuity and prevent those landsfrom being sold or leased forcommercial or residential uses,” saidMayor Ron Rakowsky. “We needed tomake sure the zoning of all of ourparks and open space will beconsistent with the amendment toCity Charter.”

The Village properties protected bythe ballot measure included propertieszoned as O, Open Space District.These parcels are the Marjorie PerryNature Preserve; Prentice andGreenwood Gulch Open Spaces inThe Preserve; Public Service OpenSpace; the former MetroChurch/Oneslager Open Space;Huntington Park; Tommy Davis Park;and Village Greens and Village GreensNorth Parks. All other Village-ownedpark and open space parcels were notzoned as O, Open Space District;therefore, not protected from futuresale and disposition. The Village willbe preparing applications to rezone the

remaining Village-owned park andopen space lands in order to bringthem within the protections affordedby the charter amendment.

“The first step in assuring that allVillage-owned park parcels were zonedO, Open Space District, includedcleaning up the zone district standardsoutlined in the Municipal Code,updating antiquated permitted uses,establishing categories of parks andopen spaces, and outlining a reviewprocedure for those properties zonedO, Open Space District,” said DebbieBelcik, Director of Parks, Trails, andRecreation.

The Village-initiated rezoning of itsopen space parcels and parks beganwith City Council approval of anordinance that outlined the rezoningprocess. The ordinance differentiatedbetween the intended use of moreactive parks and natural open spaceareas. The revised O, Open SpaceDistrict created two subcategories ofuses for both natural open areas andmore active parks. The natural openareas designation includes lands thatare intended to remain natural withminimal improvements. The parkdesignation would allow for a broaderrange of park uses, from natural areas

with minimal improvements to moreintense park uses and field activitiessuch as play areas, restroom facilities,and sport courts.

The rezoning will not change the usesof the parks from their current uses.For example, the Marjorie PerryNature Preserve will remain a naturalopen area and Westlands Park willremain an active park with fields, playareas, and shelters.

“The ordinance offers a level oftransparency to the residents ofGreenwood Village, providingassurances as to what uses can bepermitted on adjacent park and openspace properties as well as clearlyoutlining the process for developing ormodifying park property,” addedBelcik.

The new ordinance also established areview process that requires anydevelopment, redevelopment or masterplan for parcels zoned O, Open SpaceDistrict to be approved by the CityCouncil, following a public inputprocess and review by the Parks, Trails,and Recreation Commission.
