The Denver Police Department has taken to social media in an effort to enlist the public’s help in locating Kelvin Jose Henriquez-Zamora, a man wanted for first-degree assault and second-degree kidnapping. A post from the department’s official Facebook page features the suspect's mugshot, accompanied by details of the alleged crimes and a call for tips. The department urges anyone who recognizes Henriquez-Zamora to forward information to the Metro Denver Crime Stoppers.
The public is asked to keep an eye out for Henriquez-Zamora and to reach out directly to Crime Stoppers by calling 720-913-STOP (7867), or by submitting a tip online through their website. The police have made it clear that Henriquez-Zamora should turn himself in, promising to "expire this post upon confirmation of your booking," as noted by the Denver Police Department.
Efforts such as Mug Shot Monday are increasing in popularity among law enforcement agencies, leveraging the reach and immediacy of social media to quickly disseminate information and engage communities in the search for individuals wanted on serious charges. The Denver Police Department’s post about Henriquez-Zamora aptly demonstrates the integration of social media strategies in modern policing efforts to keep communities safe and informed.
