Our staff have been permission to purchase and wear these special edition commemorative badges in honor of America’s 250th (Semiquincentennial) and Colorado’s 150th (Sesquicentennial). They just arrived yesterday, and they look fantastic. We are proud to wear them as we serve our community.
A big shoutout to Blue Bell Ice Cream!
When Sergeant Mithuen told them how hard the Cresthill Middle School students worked to raise money for Shop With a Cop to help kids in need this past holiday season, they generously donated 500 cups of ice cream to celebrate their efforts.
Sheriff Weekly and our deputies had a great time handing out the ice cream to students during a school assembly as a special thank you for their amazing dedication and community spirit.
Thank you, Cresthill Middle School, and thank you, Blue Bell, for helping make a difference!
Had a fantastic time judging at the @VCCCastleRock car show last night! It was a privilege to see such an awesome array of classic cars and connect with the community. Great work by everyone involved in putting together such a stellar event!
While Obama was dividing the nation at his hideous library, President Trump was honoring American warriors with the Medal of Honor.
Funny how the media barely mentions it. They had wall-to-wall coverage when Obama awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom to celebrities like Ellen DeGeneres, but recognizing military heroism doesn't seem to generate the same enthusiasm.
Some of the nation's greatest heroes deserve more attention than Hollywood's trash.
@HillaryClinton
Ma’am, I was the Air Force Lt. Colonel who carried the nuclear football for your husband inside that “people’s house” you’re suddenly so precious about. I saw it all up close for two years.
While Bill was getting blow jobs in the Oval Office from an intern and groping female Air Force enlisted crew on Air Force One, you and your staff treated the military with open disdain, like we were the help, not the men and women sworn to protect this nation. The disrespect for anything non-Clinton was palpable.
You lecture about “respect for the institution” while your husband lost the nuclear codes and shrugged it off.
And when you finally slinked out in 2001? You and your crew trashed the place—vandalism, theft, glue in drawers, obscene messages, stolen property, and filth left behind for the next administration. The GAO confirmed it. Classy exit from the “people’s house.”
The White House belongs to the American people, not your grifting dynasty. They just elected a fighter who actually respects the military and the office. Keep ripping off poor kids in Haiti, selling your merch and clutching pearls.
Sit down, bitch. The adults are back in charge.
HAPPENING NOW: Douglas County Sheriff’s Deputies are responding to a motor vehicle accident at Willowbridge Way and East Wildcat Reserve Parkway. There are lane closures. Please avoid the area. PIO is on the way to the scene.
I see Democrats showing up in droves at ICE facilities, loudly demanding better treatment for those inside. Yet I’ve never once seen a Democrat visit a VA hospital to check on our wounded veterans and their care. That tells me everything I need to know.
Imagine one day having to explain to your grandchildren why you backed out of playing a concert for America's 250th birthday because you didn't want to upset people who now think men can get pregnant.
Not gonna lie, the last few weeks have felt like I'm banging my head against a wall.
It's time for the 80% to say it out loud: men cannot become women. Ever. You know it. Say it.
We need you (mostly silent) 80%. We will win - truth outs in the end - but we need you.
A pregnant, homeless woman approached a police officer and said: "I'm pregnant. I'm homeless, I'm a drug addict, and I'm done." She wanted help getting to a treatment centre on Gizen High Street but had no way to get there.
The officer immediately let her sit in his patrol car, followed procedure by checking her pockets, and asked if she was hungry. She was. On the way, they stopped for food—he bought her cheeseburgers and made it a full meal. He offered her the choice to eat outside with him or in the car, treating her with respect and dignity.
After the meal, he drove her straight to the treatment facility and handed her off safely. She thanked him warmly.
Standing Firm in Our Mission: A Message to Our Community
The recent decision by Governor Polis to grant clemency to Brandin Kreuzer, a violent convicted felon, has brought a profound wave of emotion to our agency. @SheriffWeekly said, "The timing of this announcement, on National Peace Officer Memorial Day, feels like a direct disregard for the sacrifices made by law enforcement officers every day."
The gravity of the incident in question remains a daily reality for the deputies who survived the shooting and the community that was terrorized by his violent crime spree in 2008.
Retired Lieutenant Todd Tucker, who was shot by Kreuzer and critically injured, expressed the deep impact of the Governor's actions: "I cannot adequately express the anger, disgust, and profound disappointment I feel over Governor Polis’ decision to release a violent convicted felon who has not even served half of his sentence. This decision is an insult to me, my family, and every law enforcement officer who risks their life every single day to protect their communities...Governor Polis’ decision sends a dangerous and demoralizing message: that the attempted murder of a police officer no longer carries the weight or accountability it once did. It tells violent offenders that even the most serious crimes can eventually be excused or minimized through politics."
Corporal Mike Adams shared a sobering reminder of how close this tragedy came to being fatal, and the lasting scars it leaves behind: “For the Governor to grant clemency on National Peace Officer Memorial Day is a slap in our face and every law enforcement officer that puts on this uniform every day and for those that have made the ultimate sacrifice. There is not a day that goes by that I don’t think about this incident. If it wasn’t for that windshield stopping that bullet, the first round they shot at me, dead center of the windshield, it would’ve struck me in the face. If that windshield would not have stopped that bullet, I would not be standing here today speaking to you, and my boys would be growing up without a father. It is just appalling that the Governor would grant clemency to someone who tried to kill two police officers. Deputy Todd Tucker still has to live with his injuries to this day.”
Our Commitment to You Will Not Waver
While we are deeply disappointed by this profound error in judgement by the Governor, which we believe was based on faulty information, it will never change who we are or why we put on the badge.
In the wake of this news, we have felt an overwhelming wave of support from the people we serve. We see you, we hear you, and we deeply appreciate the incredible community that continuously backs us up. Your trust is our greatest asset, and your safety remains our highest priority.
We are here to serve, we are here to protect, and no political decision will ever deter us from keeping Douglas County safe. Thank you for standing with us.
Douglas County @SheriffWeekly condemned Governor Jared Polis’ decision to grant clemency to a convicted felon who attempted to murder two Douglas County Sheriff’s Deputies. Brandin Kreuzer has served just 15 years of his 45-year sentence.
The case stems from a violent, month-long crime spree in 2008 orchestrated by Brandin Kreuzer and Taylor Moudy. The coordinated crime wave, which terrorized communities across Douglas County and Castle Rock, culminated in a high-speed pursuit where deputies were ambushed with high-powered rifle fire, resulting in the wounding of Deputy Todd Tucker.
Sheriff Weekly, who personally worked as an investigations commander on the original case, released the following statement:
"I have spoken with both deputies involved, and they are absolutely furious, as am I. The audacity of Governor Polis to grant clemency to a would-be cop killer on National Peace Officer Memorial Day shows a complete lack of respect for the brave men and women who wear the badge and put their lives on the line every day. I personally worked on this case and remember what it took to track these two suspects down. I will have more to say in the coming days."
