The team attends several community events each year to educate citizens in El Paso and Teller Counties about contacting 9-1-1 for emergencies, text to 9-1-1, and the emergency notification system, Peak Alerts.

In 2024, the Public Education team conducted 265 presentations, reaching 13,660 community members at schools and community events.
