Police to step up enforcement of illegal dirt bikes and off‑road vehicles in Cherry Hills Village
Summary
Police Chief Jason Lyons said the department will move from public service announcements to active enforcement — including citations and impoundments — for unregistered or uninsured dirt bikes and off‑road vehicles on public roadways.
Police Chief Jason Lyons told the council that, with the end of the school year approaching, the department expects an increase in illegal operation of dirt bikes and off‑road vehicles in Cherry Hills Village and is shifting from public education to active enforcement.
Chief Lyons said enforcement will include issuing citations and impounding vehicles operated on public roadways without proper registration and insurance, consistent with state law under Title 42. Communications staff will coordinate public information to make residents aware of the change. Mayor Brown asked whether enforcement would also apply to pedal‑assist e‑bikes on the High Line Canal; Chief Lyons said enforcement intensity will be calibrated to the nature of the violation, with unregistered and uninsured motorized vehicles subject to the most serious consequences.
The council received the report; no formal action was required.
