Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office
Sheriffff Darren Weekly
The Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office (DCSO) is comprised of approximately 600 employees and 250 Volunteers under the leadership of Sheriff Darren Weekly, all working hard to keep Douglas County one of the most beautiful and safe communities in the country.
Who we serve: DCSO is statutorily required to provide jail services and law enforcement to unincorporated areas of the County such as the Village and can also take legal action within those areas as required. The Village is unique in that most of the day-to-day, non-criminal enforcement is handled by Castle Pines Emergency Services – to include most traffic related enforcement, as the roadways within the Village are private. When a criminal act is committed outside of their scope, the DCSO will respond appropriately as needed.
Is there crime in the Village? Unfortunately, no community
is immune to crime. Most crimes that occur within Douglas
County are crimes of opportunity related to unsecured property.
These crimes usually involve unlocked vehicles or open garage
doors, making for an easy target for items left inside. Some other
common crimes are related to fraud and identity theft. To prevent
yourself from becoming a victim, make sure to use different passwords on all your accounts, change your passwords occasionally, and make them difficult to hack using random letters, numbers and characters. It is also a great idea to make sure that your Wi-Fi network is secure by changing the default name and password protecting the network. Take the appropriate steps every day to keep your property, finances, and family secure.
The DCSO looks forward to continuing the incredible partnership that we are all a part of to keep this amazing place safe and beautiful. To learn more about the DCSO, follow us on Facebook or X, visit dcsheriff.net or call (303) 660-7505.
