Security Considerations in Aurora

Snow season runs long in Aurora. National Weather Service statistics for Denver put the average first measurable snowfall in mid-October and the average last snowfall in late April, so winter conditions can reach outdoor posts for more than half the year. Post Orders for parking structures, shopping center entrances and construction sites set snow and ice reporting, slip hazard checks, warm-up relief for exterior posts and supervisor travel plans for storm days.

The Anschutz Medical Campus brings together UCHealth University of Colorado Hospital, Children’s Hospital Colorado and the schools and research programs of the University of Colorado Anschutz. Posts at medical office, research and hospital-adjacent sites center on visitor management, badge checks, parking structure patrols and clear escalation contacts. Aurora spans Arapahoe, Adams and Douglas counties and is served by two interstates, the E-470 tollway and RTD light rail, so supervisor routes and check-in times in Post Orders account for the distances between sites.

Holiday events draw visitors to Southlands and the Gaylord Rockies Resort & Convention Center. Southlands holds its annual Holiday Hometown Parade and Tree Lighting Ceremony in its Town Square in late November, and Gaylord Rockies runs a ticketed ice sculpture attraction during the holiday season. Post Orders for retail, hotel and parking posts near these sites set coverage for event dates, with queue and entrance control, lot patrols and later closing checks.

Common Questions

How Are Outdoor Posts in Aurora Prepared for Snow Season?

Post Orders for parking structures, entrances and exterior patrol routes set snow and ice reporting, slip hazard checks and warm-up relief before mid-October, when National Weather Service statistics for Denver place the average first measurable snowfall. Supervisors confirm snow removal contacts and storm-day travel plans with each site, and those instructions stay in place through late April, the average date of the last snowfall.

How Is Security Guard Coverage Priced?

Rates depend on the officer classification, hours, schedule and site requirements. McCray provides a written rate schedule after reviewing the needs of each site. Holiday, overnight and short-notice coverage is billed at a premium rate.
