Sheriff Darren Weekly retweeted
So grateful for our partnership with @dcsheriff and their commitment to helping us make not only Douglas County, but the entire state of Colorado a safer place by reducing violent crime and putting bad guys where they belong: in jail and off the streets of our communities. nitter.net/dcsheriff/status/21032…
Partnerships we are so proud of! Recently, U.S. Marshals from across the country came to our Helitack base to prepare themselves and their K-9s with training on our Douglas County helicopter. One of the K-9s, Rocky, had to be emergency evacuated on a helicopter after he was shot, taking down a bad guy in Houston. Preparation and partnerships like these keep our community safer. We are so grateful to be a part of the Colorado Violent Offender Task Force (COVOTF) with the U.S. Marshals Service.

"You never think you're going to give birth in a 7-Eleven parking lot." But if you do, our Douglas Regional 911 dispatchers will be here for you! Watch this sweet reunion between the dispatcher and the family who had an unexpected roadside delivery. Some calls stay with you forever. What an unforgettable moment!! @CastleRockFF

The law enforcement toll of 9/11 did not end that day. 72 officers died as a direct result of the attacks. In the 25 years since, @ODMP has recorded another 608 deaths from 9/11-related illnesses. Today, ODMP recognizes 680 officers lost as a result of 9/11. odmp.org/info/25-years-later…

Committing the robbery was dumb. Thinking we’ll let you get away in @douglascountyco is epic stupidity.
"Good Grapple, good Grapple." That’s what we like to hear! 🚘💥 Early Sunday morning, our deputies responded to assist @CRPoliceCO with a fleeing robbery suspect. Thanks to a quick response and precise execution, our teams successfully deployed the Grappler Police Bumper to end the pursuit safely. One suspect tried to run but was caught after a short foot chase. Both suspects were taken into custody without further incident. Outstanding teamwork by all officers and deputies involved! 🚔👏

“Come here to commit a crime in Douglas County, expect to stay awhile.” DA @GeorgeBrauchler delivered a clear message Tuesday at the Douglas County Retail Theft Summit in Castle Rock: Let’s work together to end retail theft in Douglas County. #RetailTheft #DouglasCounty

Douglas County residents are receiving phone calls claiming they missed jury duty, and they owe a fine or face immediate arrest. This is widespread fraud scamming victims out of millions of dollars. Real court, federal, and law enforcement officials will NEVER ask you to withdraw cash, pay over the phone, use gift cards, use payment apps such as Venmo, PayPal, or Zelle, or deposit money into cryptocurrency ATMs. ✨️ How the Scam Works✨️ Impersonation: The caller pretends to be a local police officer, sheriff's deputy, or U.S. Marshal. Law enforcement phone numbers may be spoofed. Intimidation: They claim you missed a summons, violated the law, or have an active arrest warrant. They tell you there is a gag order and not to hang up. Fake Proof: They may follow up with spoofed caller IDs or text/email fake arrest documents. Demands: They pressure you to pay an immediate "fine" using payment apps, wire transfers, gift cards, cash deposits into cryptocurrency ATMs. Identity Theft: They frequently ask for Social Security Numbers, copies of driver's licenses, balances in bank accounts, and account numbers. 🚩 Red Flags to Watch For🚩 Phone Demands: Courts communicate via U.S. mail for official matters and NEVER call to demand payment. Arrest Threats: Real officers will not call to warn you about an impending arrest or threaten you to stay on the line. Unusual Payment Methods: Government agencies do not accept gift cards, cryptocurrency, or payment apps. If you receive a call like this, HANG UP and call the Douglas County Sheriff's Office immediately at (303) 660-7500. Do not provide any personal information or send money through any means.

NOT A SCAM: A community member reached out to Sheriff Weekly about a text they received asking if their Smart911 profile is up to date. In case you get this too, we can confirm it is not a scam. This is an automatic message sent every six months when you are signed up for DougCoAlert. We want to make sure your information is still current so we can reach you in an emergency.

BURGLARY ARREST DURING PENLEY FIRE 🚫Not in Douglas County! If you come here to commit crimes, we WILL catch you and we WILL arrest you. While law enforcement and first responders were focused on the nearby Penley Fire earlier this week, a burglar decided to make himself at home in an unoccupied house currently on the market near Roxborough. The homeowner received several alerts from his security camera system and immediately called 911. The suspect also allegedly used his car to block a gate and road, preventing law enforcement and neighbor access, and obstructing an evacuation route during the Penley fire. Thanks to the homeowner’s detailed description and quick thinking, deputies were ready. When the suspect left the residence on an e-bike, deputies caught him leaving the scene. The suspect has been identified as 40-year-old Tony Hoang, a Denver resident, and is facing multiple charges, including burglary. If you have any information that could help our investigation, please call Metro Denver Crime Stoppers at 720-913-STOP (7867) and reference case #2026-00068978. **All suspects are presumed innocent until proven guilty.

@SheriffWeekly answers the questions directly: • How are Flock cameras actually used? • Who has access to the data? • How long is it stored? • What safeguards protect innocent drivers? • Is the technology worth the privacy tradeoff?

JULY IS LAW ENFORCEMENT CHILD MONTH This month, we honor the children and families who stand beside our deputies every day. Behind every badge is a family making sacrifices. Long shifts, missed milestones, unpredictable schedules, and the challenges of a demanding profession. Law enforcement kids show resilience, courage, and strength far beyond their years, and they deserve recognition. We are proud of the families who support our deputies and help keep our community strong. Thank you for all you give, all you endure, and all you represent. #LawEnforcementChildMonth #LECM

🚫 Not in our County! Deputies recover a stolen vehicle the same day it was taken. Swing shift deputies recently responded to a stolen car driving near Park Meadows Blvd and Lincoln Avenue. When they tried to stop it, the driver took off, leading deputies on a pursuit into Castle Rock. The suspect eventually ditched the car, tried to hide, and even attempted to change into freshly stolen clothing...but deputies weren’t fooled. He was quickly located and taken into custody. Great teamwork by all involved, including Lone Tree and Castle Rock Police Departments, for safely recovering the vehicle and taking the suspect into custody the very same day. **All suspects are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

Very proud of Deputy Englert!
Huge congratulations are in order for our very own Deputy James Englert, who has officially been named the National Association of School Resource Officers (NASRO) President! This is a testament to what we already know: Deputy Englert is an amazing SRO and leader and Douglas County sets the gold standard for school safety across the entire nation. Deputy Englert, we could not be prouder to have you representing Douglas County on the national stage!
