9NEWS (Denver): Internal emails among the Longmont Housing Authority reveal an attempt to have a secret meeting one week after media attention ended Constitutionally questionable searches of apartments.

Last week, a tenant at the Suites in Longmont contacted 9NEWS about a notice she received warning that management would be conducting monthly check-ins, which said “we will occasionally have K-9 units with LPD (Longmont Police Department) accompany us for purposes of training and compliance. Apartments will be chosen at random.”

Longmont’s public safety chief found out about the department’s involvement after we reported about it, and pulled the plug on the arrangement.

He said the police involvement was to identify people who may be in need of treatment.

He also said officers were not there to make any arrests or confiscate any drugs. No homes were searched with the K-9 in June, but they were at the complex in May. No one was arrested and no drugs were found in those searches.
