Sheriff's office details increased patrols, camera work and school‑crossing enforcement plans
Summary
Douglas County Sheriff's Office officials introduced a new patrol captain and outlined stepped‑up enforcement on corridors near Buffalo Ridge and other schools, use of intersection and block cameras for investigations, and plans to host county warrant systems and migrate camera feeds to the county platform.
Sheriff Darren Winkley and Captain Jason Kennedy briefed council on public‑safety activity in Castle Pines, noting increased patrols, business and park checks, citizen assists and crime‑prevention work. Kennedy said the sheriff's office logged 748 patrols and 399 citations during the last quarter and emphasized targeted enforcement on Monarch Boulevard, Oxford and Yorkshire corridors following a recent crosswalk accident.
The sheriff's office also described technological efforts: becoming a host agency for CCIC/NCIC warrant entry for Douglas County, migrating intersection cameras onto the county's Milestone platform to better retrieve evidence, and using block cameras to help arrest suspects in a recent stolen‑vehicle incident. Council asked about short‑term actions to protect school crosswalks and broken crosswalk lights; the sheriff's office said it would increase visible enforcement and follow up on hardware repairs.
