Noise-control officers became part of the department

QUESTION: What ever happened to the noise control police officers? It would seem that noise pollution has gone rampant in this city. At any given time I can hear the boomboxes in these kids’ cars not only from my own vehicle (with the windows up), but now from my home. Why have police allowed these young people to spend thousands on their stereos so they can blast it so loud that everyone can hear and feel them driving by!

ANSWER: Police officers respond to specific complaints about noise, according to Colorado Springs Police Department spokesman Lt. Rafael Cintron. He said CSPD had a noise unit probably 20 years ago but those officers were incorporated into the department.
