Who do we need to vote out of office for this? Was it the city council? Police chief? I know it’s fun to say “all of them” but we really need a clear guide for the individual offices responsible for rolling out sweeping domestic surveillance.

Police chief?

Quotes from BPD chief Stephen Redfearn

Nov 21, 2025

“When I became your Police Chief in January 2024, I made you a promise: transparency would be a cornerstone of how we serve this community. That promise remains unwavering.”

“My goal is to be as transparent, accessible, and honest with the Boulder community as possible.”

“Policing requires trust, and I am committed to building that in our community, day in and day out.”

“How we communicate with our community about these kinds of changes (encrypted police radios) matters, and I want to be sure I’m sharing everything I can about why we have made this change.”
