Fort Collins: Having a Super Bowl party? Consider registering it with law enforcement...

Fort Collins Police Getting Ready For Super Bowl Sunday

Police said they are using technology in ways they couldn’t before. They’ve been using Twitter to warn people to be safe while celebrating. They’ve also created a text chain to alert business owners and managers of situations and have been tweeting messages that encourage good behavior.

“Got Super Bowl plans? Demonstrate good character and good sportsmanship behaviors. Go Broncos,” said one such tweet.

“Creating that sort of communications tree helps greatly getting the word out,” said Peart.

Authorities recommend people register their Super Bowl parties with police. That way they can get a warning first if the crowd is getting too loud.

street travel planning/traffic problems. So the police really DO need a way to just call or tweet noisy party hosts rather than trying to travel to each of them to just tell them to keep it down.

I lived there. Maybe it's improved significantly, but I doubt it. At least there's more than one street that goes all the way from north to south across town now.

There was some trouble not too long ago with several hundred Colorado State students getting way out of hand, after a party. In no way do I support the idea of registering your party, but I'm pretty sure this is what law enforcement is worried about.
