Our sincerest apology. We are aware of a Lookout Alert sent out this morning, notifying residents of a shelter-in-place that the situation may not have impacted. We are looking into the case with the vendor. We apologize for any inconvenience or confusion this may have created.
As members of the Jefferson County community, we are heartbroken. As First Responders, we are devastated.
Jeffcom stands with our brothers and sisters at Arvada Police Department, Colorado, who've lost one of their own in a senseless act of violence. Rest In Peace, Sir.
Thank you Agent Ferris! The community is grateful for your swift, selfless actions which put this violence to an end. We wish you a speedy recovery surrounded by friends and loved ones.
Last week, our community faced a terrible tragedy when a gunman killed 5 people & injured others. Among the injured was Agent Ashley Ferris. Today, she was released from the hospital & back into the arms of her family & friends. Thank you
#AgentFerris
for your strength & heroism.
We are deeply saddened by the loss of JeffCo K9 Graffit. Graffit was killed in the line of duty while assisting Golden PD, and the School of Mines PD with the apprehension of an armed suspect. Our thoughts are with the JCSO, and especially Graffit's handler as they mourn.
