New face on the force

Golden Police Chief Bill Kilpatrick welcomes the department’s new Police Captain, Joe Harvey, during his swearing-in ceremony on Wednesday, Jan. 7, in City Hall. Harvey previously served at the Greenwood Village Police Department for 21 years before transferring to Golden. “It’s just going to be very exciting with Joe here,” Kilpatrick said. “His commitment to leadership was one of the qualities that stood out.” Harvey began his career in 1987 as a dispatcher, and has earned both a Bachelors and a Masters in Criminal Justice. “It took me 27 years to come home –; and that’s where I’m at –; I’m home,” Harvey said.
