Trinidad Police Administration Office Closed for Christmas Week

The Trinidad Police Department announced on December 23, 2025 that its Administration Office would be closed Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, December 24, 25 and 26 for the Christmas holiday. The office reopened Monday, December 29 at 8 00 a.m. Residents who need to report a crime or speak with an officer were instructed to use the department non emergency dispatch number 719 846 4441, and requests for copies of police reports are being handled by email at report@trinidad.co.gov.

The closure affects administrative services rather than frontline patrol operations. Community members should expect delays in in person records requests and other paperwork that typically require office staff. For time sensitive concerns requiring police attention, the department directed the public to contact dispatch by phone. The department did not provide alternate in person locations for administrative business during the holiday closure.

For many residents in Las Animas County, seasonal office closures are a reminder to plan non urgent interactions with local government around holiday schedules. People who were intending to obtain copies of police reports, submit documents or ask non urgent questions are advised to email report@trinidad.co.gov and await staff response when normal office hours resume. The office schedule indicates services returned with normal business hours beginning Monday morning.

The temporary shutdown aligns with common municipal practices during national holidays, but it also underscores the need for clarity about emergency channels. The dispatch number remains the primary route for contacting officers and reporting crimes while administrative staff are away. Local organizations and residents who rely on timely access to police records should note the reopening date and adjust plans accordingly.

This announcement, issued on December 23, provided a clear timeline so individuals and businesses can schedule record requests and other administrative matters after the holiday closure.
