The <a href=\"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/posts\/protecting-yourself-safety-tips-from-denver-police-department\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Denver Police Department (DPD)<\/a> informed The Stapletonion that they could not remember the last time they received so few calls from the Stapleton community.  \u201cWe typically receive tens of phone calls a day from Stapleton residents or complaints on our Text-a-Tip line,\u201d said officer Dan Lembeck.  \u201cBut, on Tuesday, we maybe received one or two calls.  It was just extremely quiet.  Which is great.  Maybe the residents are finally <a href=\"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/posts\/stapleton-crime-sign-moved-to-eastbridge-then-on-to-welcome-center\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">listening to us<\/a>.\u201d\nAlthough it\u2019s certainly possible residents have wised up and started locking their homes and garages, there just may be other factors in play, suggests crime expert Kevin Propp.  \u201cIt could be possible that residents have started to lock their valuables, but my guess is the weather played a bigger part,\u201d said Propp.  \u201cBurglars see the weather and watch the weather reports, too.  If school is canceled, they assume people will be home.  Plus, they don\u2019t want to be driving or trudging through the snow.  Makes for a more challenging getaway.  Plus, all of our research shows criminals don\u2019t like cold weather.  Which is why there is hardly any crime in North Dakota.  Or, at least I assume there is no crime there.\u201d\n]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\t\t\t\t<![CDATA[]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_coblocks_attr":"","_coblocks_dimensions":"","_coblocks_responsive_height":"","_coblocks_accordion_ie_support":"","_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[30],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-6177","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-issue-121","7":"entry"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6177","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=6177"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6177\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=6177"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=6177"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=6177"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
