The Garfield County Sheriff’s Office Patrol Division is responsible for providing Law Enforcement Service for an
area covering over 2958 square miles. Patrol Deputies are
required to have knowledge in general law enforcement
procedures, water rights, animal control, search and rescue,
civil procedures, and wild land fire response. The Patrol
division consists of Deputy I, Deputy II, and Sgt’s. The
County is broken down into three patrol zones. West of Rifle
is zone three, Rifle to New Castle is zone two, and zone
one is east of New Castle to the Pitkin/Eagle County line.
The Sheriff’s Office has an Investigative division, Drug
Task Force Deputies, K-9 Deputies, Animal Control, and
members on the Garfield County All Hazards Response Team.
Deputies follow a directive from the Sheriff to find
solutions to citizen’s problems. This may mean referring the
public to other resources to help resolve their issues. The
phrase “there’s nothing I can do” is not an acceptable
answer to a citizens problem and will not be tolerated in
the Garfield County Sheriff’s Office. If you’re not
satisfied with the service you receive please contact a
Patrol Supervisor by email or telephone (970) 945-0453
during business hours or (970) 625-8095 Dispatch
after hours. |
