COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — The City of Colorado Springs wants to expand the police department’s Homeless Outreach Team (HOT).
The HOT team now has two more officers for the program after the positions were approved in the new city budget.
On Monday, the HOT team’s supervisor, Sgt. Olav Chaney said the team arrested several trespassers under the South Nevada Bridge.
“Out of 15 people who were trespassing, seven went to jail,” Chaney said.
The city’s cleanup team removed several piles of trash from illegal campsites, including dozens of shopping carts.
