The Jefferson County Sheriff's Office is organized into five divisions, each playing a vital role in keeping our community safe.
The Patrol Division is the largest division, providing 24/7 law enforcement services to unincorporated Jefferson County. Deputies respond to calls for service, conduct proactive patrols, and are often the first point of contact between the community and the Sheriff’s Office.
Detectives in the Criminal Investigations Division handle complex cases from initial follow-up through prosecution. The division includes specialized units that partner with federal and multi-agency task forces.
Detention Services operates the Jefferson County Detention Facility, one of the largest county jails in Colorado. The division is responsible for the safe and secure custody of inmates and offers programs aimed at reducing recidivism.
Strategic Services manages the business operations that keep the Sheriff’s Office running. The division oversees budgeting, grants, fleet management for 310+ vehicles, supplies, and maintenance of over 440,000 square feet of facilities.
Support Services provides the training, recruiting, and community engagement programs that sustain the organization. The division ensures deputies are well-prepared and that the community has a voice in public safety.
