SHERIFF

Under Colorado law, the Office of Sheriff is an elected position. Because a vacancy occurred mid-term, the Board of County Commissioners has the option to appoint a qualified replacement who will serve until the next general election. To qualify for appointment, an individual must reside in the County; to qualify for election in November 2026, a candidate must reside in Clear Creek County for at least one year prior to the election (i.e., by November 3, 2025). The Board will be working closely with the Sheriff's Office leadership to identify a person who not only meets the legal qualifications for Sheriff, but is also willing to seek election and serve Clear Creek County for years to come. In the interim, the Board is soliciting letters of interest for the position of Sheriff from qualified individuals who are residents of the County (or who intend to become residents by November 3, 2025) and who share the Board's vision of continuity, community service, and strong leadership for the future of the Sheriff's Office. By expediently gauging interest in the position, the Board will be better able to support that vision. Please submit your letter of interest as advised below:
