No tricks, just treats! 🍫 The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office wants you to have a fang-tastic Halloween, so here are some quick safety tips to keep in mind tonight: 💡 Carry a flashlight and wear reflective gear so drivers can see you. 🚸 Cross streets at marked crosswalks and look both ways before stepping into the road. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Trick-or-treat with family or friends and stick to well-lit neighborhoods. 🐾 Keep pets secure indoors to prevent stress and unexpected escapes. 📱 Make sure someone knows your route and expected return time. 🍬 Check your candy stash and toss anything that's opened or looks suspicious. 👮 Our deputies will be out serving the community and helping keep Halloween safe for everyone. If you have any concerns or need assistance, don't hesitate to reach out.

Building a Safer Future for Douglas County! 🚁 We are thrilled to officially break ground on the new Douglas County Helitack Hangar. This is a milestone for our community's wildfire response and aerial firefighting capabilities! This dedicated facility will house our year-round aerial firefighting support, ensuring our teams can respond faster, protect more homes and open spaces, and keep our residents safe from our region's top natural hazard. Reflecting on this critical step forward for public safety, Undersheriff Jason Kennedy said, "This hangar gives our first responders another important advantage as they work to protect Douglas County. It will keep our Helitack resources protected and ready to deploy, while creating a place where public safety partners can train together. When agencies train together, they perform together, and that makes our communities safer.” Thank you to our dedicated county commissioners, emergency management teams, our fire partner agencies, and everyone working behind the scenes to bring this project to life.

🚁 Today, we're celebrating the next chapter of Douglas County's Helitack program. This afternoon, county leaders and public safety partners will break ground on a new helicopter hangar, creating a permanent home for the aircraft and crew who help protect our community from wildfires. Douglas County is unique in having its own Helitack team. Since 2018, the team has flown 392 missions and responded to 142 fires, helping save homes, neighborhoods, and open space when seconds matter. Today's milestone is more than a building. It's an investment in the people, equipment, and preparedness that help keep Douglas County safe. This video captures part of the incredible crew behind the mission and the future we're building together. Here's to the next generation of wildfire response. 🔥🚁💙

#WantedWednesday: FRAGRANCE FELONS! 💨 Last month, these five suspects walked into Ulta Beauty on Sgt. Jon Stiles Drive in Highlands Ranch, allegedly pocketed thousands of dollars in fragrances, and walked out. Apparently, paying for them wasn’t part of their scent-sational shopping experience. 🤦‍♀️😂 🕵️ CAN YOU IDENTIFY THESE PERFUME PERPETRATORS? 👀👃 🚗 Vehicle: Blank Honda, unknown year and model. 📞 Metro Denver Crime Stoppers: 720-913-STOP (7867) 🗂️ Case #2026-00092528 Share this post because someone’s bound to recognize these scent-stealing suspects!

The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office is proud to help keep Alex Mackiewicz’s legacy alive. Today, on what would have been his 16th birthday, Alex’s Legacy Compass and Victoria Cegielski donated laptops that will be presented to two deserving local students who embody the kindness and compassion Alex was known for. These students will be selected with the help of our School Resource Officers. Alex’s Mother, Victoria said, “After Alex’s passing, I received a heartfelt letter from his classmates that read, ‘he made everything around him a better place. He made a difference in so many kids' lives.’ SROs also leave an indelible mark on students' lives. That's why we've partnered with them to recognize and promote compassion and care, selecting students who embody kindness and make a difference one day, one action, one smile at a time.” The deserving students will receive their new laptops as they transition from elementary school to middle school. We are forever committed to always honoring Alex’s legacy. 💙
