It is said that necessity is the mother of all invention, and the city of Colorado Springs now has a tidy feature on their app that allows community members to click a button to report a homeless camp. Should people use it? Apparently, they already do.
What they might not know is what happens when they do.
That click initiates a visit from the CSPD Homeless Outreach Team, which posts the area with “tags” warning people to vacate the premises. Many people pack up their belongings and relocate their camp. Some stay and receive a camping ticket.
