LONGMONT, Colo.—A department store has forced Boulder police to move their training for special weapons and tactics to another location.
Police had planned to temporarily take over an unused area of the Twin Peaks Mall on Wednesday, but a last-minute objection from Dillard’s put the kibosh on the plans.
Boulder police spokeswoman Kim Kobel says the exercise was moved to the Boulder County Fire Training Center.
According to the Longmont Times-Call ( ), mall manager NewMark Merrill Mountain States said the property management company wanted to offer the vacant former Joslins building for the training, but backed out when one of their stores objected.
A Dillard’s representative did not return phone calls seeking comment.
