Heather Coogan - Co-Chair

Littleton Police Chief Heather Coogan announced her retirement effective April 1, 2013. Coogan had been Littleton’s Police Chief for more than five years. She holds the distinction of being the first female police chief in the Denver metro area. 

Coogan’s accomplishments during her tenure in Littleton are numerous. The Littleton Police Department opened a 14,000 square-foot expansion in May of 2011 that includes substantial evidence storage and a modern crime lab. Coogan led re-accreditation efforts in 2009 and 2012 from the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies (CALEA), placing the Littleton Police Department among an elite group of law enforcement agencies meeting the highest professional standards. Coogan served as president of the Metro Chiefs, the Arapahoe Criminal Justice Coordinating Committee, and the Police Officer Standards Training Board. She earned the Lifetime Achievement Award from Rocky Mountain Women in Law Enforcement in 2011. 

“I am excited and a little sad to announce that I am retiring but I could not have asked for a better department to live out my dream,” Coogan said at the time. “We have accomplished so much together and there is so much to be proud. It is time for me, after 37 years as an officer and 11 years as a chief of police, to pass the torch to people I believe in and who possess great leadership skills.” 

Previously Chief Coogan served as Chief of the Auraria Higher Education Campus Police Department, and as a Deputy Chief of the Denver Police Department.
