There are times when it will be necessary for the Lone Tree Police Department to go into Accident Alert status. When this happens, it may not be possible to respond to all minor traffic occurrences. When on Accident Alert status, the Lone Tree Police Department requests you file a counter report if your traffic accident fits the following criteria:
