At the annual meeting last month, a resident asked the South Metro Fire Rescue representative about how they handle gate codes and emergency access. The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office recently posted about this as well, so here’s the answer. Douglas County has an online form you can fill out, or you can send email to gatecodes@dcsheriff.net. For South Metro, send email to ReducingRisk@southmetro.org or call their nonemergency dispatch line at 720-258-8911. For CORE (formerly IREA), call their Member Service department at 303-688-3100. Now you know!
