CSPD Issues over 350 Expired Registration Tickets during Surge Enforcement Week

The Colorado Springs Police Department (CSPD) has totaled the number of tickets issued for expired registrations during our community-wide vehicle registration enforcement surge conducted from April 5 through April 11, 2026, resulting in 371 citations issued by CSPD for registration-related violations.

This enforcement effort, conducted in coordination with the El Paso County Sheriff's Office, Colorado State Patrol, Monument Police Department, Fountain Police Department, and Palmer Lake Police Department, focused on identifying expired and unregistered vehicles across Colorado Springs and the greater Pikes Peak region.

During the week-long operation, CSPD officers took a zero-tolerance approach to registration violations, ensuring compliance with Colorado law requiring all vehicles to display valid license plates and current registration.

"First, I want to thank the many drivers in our community who continually follow the law and keep their vehicle registrations current," said CSPD Chief Adrian Vasquez. "For those who were cited during this enforcement effort, I hope this serves as a reminder to everyone of the importance of keeping your registration up to date. Compliance with registration laws helps ensure fairness for all drivers and supports the safety and infrastructure of our community."

The department will evaluate the effectiveness of the surge, including citation data and compliance trends, to determine future enforcement strategies.

CSPD reminds all community members to ensure their vehicle registration is current and properly displayed. Residents can visit the Colorado Department of Revenue, Division of Motor Vehicles website for information on renewing or registering their vehicles. https://dmv.colorado.gov/
