Last night, September 23, 2021, Longmont Officers recovered 11 fliers left on downtown businesses that were disparaging towards our Black community. Officers removed the photocopied fliers from storefronts and filed a police report. Due to the nature of this incident, the Longmont Police Department has notified the Boulder County District Attorney’s Office.

The City of Longmont’s City Manager’s Office and the Longmont Downtown Development Authority released this statement earlier today, “This kind of hateful and racist messaging has no place in our community. We consider the diversity of our community an important asset and what makes the Longmont community so special. We share a collective commitment to building community by engaging and learning to bridge cultural differences that value diversity and inclusion among the Longmont community, not tear them down.”

If you know the individual(s) responsible or have video on Main Street that would disclose who is responsible, we ask that you contact the Longmont Emergency Communications Center at (303)651-8501 and reference report #21-7933.
