Early this morning, #DCSO deputies responded to a report of a burglary at a church on Clydesdale Road in Castle Pines. The driver backed a (stolen) car into the doors, then pried his way into the church. When deputies arrived, they saw the vehicle leaving the scene. A deputy tried to pull over the driver, who fled. After a short pursuit, stop sticks were deployed, which disabled the vehicle. The suspect stopped and surrendered without further incident. The suspect, who is not a resident of Douglas County, is facing charges of second degree burglary, first degree motor vehicle theft, felony eluding and driving under the influence. Douglas County Sheriff Darren Weekly said, “I am proud of my deputies who reacted quickly and took a criminal off the streets. We continue to warn thieves and burglars that Douglas County is not a place where you can victimize our residents, businesses, and places of worship.”

Beaufort County deputy has been placed on leave while an investigation is conducted following this video being posted on social media of him pulling his firearm and pointing it at two teens who were walking down Squiresgate Road on Hilton Head Island. I'm in Hilton Head a lot and I'm pretty sure that's a gated private community (there are tons of them on the island) which is quite nice. The woman (likely one of the kids moms) who posted the video on on her facebook page claimed the deputy was drunk at the time... #rural #HiltonHeadIsland #cops #SaltLife #deputy #SouthCarolina #BeaufortCounty #HiltonHead

It is with heavy hearts that we share the devastating news of the passing of one of our deputies. On Monday afternoon around 3:40 p.m., a 21-year-old off-duty deputy was involved in a traffic collision on San Francisquito Canyon Road in Santa Clarita. He was transported to Henry Mayo Hospital, where he tragically succumbed to his injuries. Our deputy joined the Department on May 2, 2024, and had recently completed the academy. He was proudly serving at the North County Correctional Facility, dedicating himself to protecting and helping others. “We are heartbroken by the tragic loss of one of our own, who was taken from us far too soon,” said Sheriff Robert G. Luna. “Our Deputy dedicated his life to the service and safety of others, both in and out of uniform. His commitment to public safety was not just a job—it was who he was. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family, friends, and all who knew him.” We are providing full support to the deputy’s family, including transportation and resources, as they navigate this unimaginable loss. The California Highway Patrol is currently investigating the cause of the collision. Please keep his loved ones and our LASD family in your thoughts during this incredibly difficult time.

⭐️ Feedback Friday ⭐️ We’re grateful when members of our community take the time to share their experiences, especially when it highlights the heart behind the badge. A resident recently tagged the Douglas County Sheriff's Office and shared this after a stressful situation on Parker Road: “Douglas County Sheriff's Office for the win today! My car died with no power in a main lane of traffic today on Parker Road. I could not turn on my hazards because there was no power. It was very stressful because people were screaming and yelling at me, flipping me off and honking at me. Finally, Deputy Castillo stopped and got under the hood of the car and played with the battery and all the connections and was able to get my car started. I'm so very grateful for Deputy Castillo." While heading home, Deputy Castillo noticed several vehicles slowing down and swerving around a stalled car. Recognizing the danger to both the driver and passing motorists, he immediately pulled in behind the vehicle and activated his emergency lights to protect the scene. The driver’s vehicle had completely lost power, leaving her stranded in the traffic lane. Thanks to a little mechanical know-how and a willingness to help, he was able to restore power and get the driver safely on her way. Moments like this are a reminder that our deputies are always watching out for the community, not for recognition, but because serving others is simply what they do. We’re proud of Deputy Castillo for stepping in when it mattered most, and thankful to the resident who shared her story. 🚔👏

Quick thinking #DCSO deputies catch another auto theft suspect. On Monday night, patrol deputies responded to a report of an in-progress vehicle theft on Mill Vista Road in Highlands Ranch. Responding deputies quickly established a perimeter and began searching the area. The vehicle was located, occupied, in a parking garage on Mill Vista Road. Upon observing law enforcement in the area, the suspect vehicle attempted to back out of a parking space. The deputy activated the patrol vehicle's emergency lights and pulled forward to signal the suspect to stop. The suspect vehicle accelerated forward, scraping, and colliding with the front passenger side push bumper of the patrol vehicle. The vehicle ran a stop sign and sped away. Deputies pursued the vehicle for a short distance, and the suspect vehicle spun out of control and rolled backwards into a metal railing, where it was pinned in place by deputies. The suspect, later identified as Armon Chism (DOB: 05/15/1982), of Denver, fled from the vehicle, and a short foot pursuit was initiated by pursuing deputies. The suspect was placed into custody after a successful taser deployment. While conducting their investigation, deputies were able to establish probable cause that Chism was a suspect in an earlier vehicle pursuit of a stolen Hyundai Tucson at the intersection of Colorado Boulevard and County Line Road. Chism was found to be in possession of the stolen Hyundai ignition key and the vehicle was recovered nearby. Chism was booked into the Douglas County Jail for investigation of Motor Vehicle Theft, Vehicular Eluding, Obstructing a Peace Officer, Possession of a Controlled Substance (Fentanyl), Protection Order Violation, and Criminal Impersonation. Douglas County Sheriff Darren Weekly said, “We will not allow criminals to victimize Douglas County residents. We are committed to ensuring the safety and security of our community will continue to work tirelessly to protect our residents and their property. I am so proud of my deputies who responded quickly and didn’t give up until this suspect was in custody.”

A handshake for the history books. After five hours of sitting in the sun and a couple of lucky breaks, we ended up in the right spot at the right time. Our Deputy State Director, Megan Indvik, and her father-in-law got to see the President get off the train and get into the Presidential motorcade on his way up the hill to the Medora Musical amphitheater.

NEW: Florida deputy shot while responding to a call where a man allegedly shot someone who was clearing out their own lot. The incident started when a man and a woman called 911, claiming someone was harassing them. While on the phone with a dispatcher, the caller was shot by the suspect, Aaron Rodriguez. The man collapsed and later died. When police arrived, they found Rodriguez in a nearby house where a gunfight ensued. "The suspect then shoots an innocent person. He then shoots another innocent person. He then goes into his garage and when deputies order him to drop his gun, he doesn’t," Pasco County Sheriff Chris Nocco said. "If you play with glass, you’re going to get cut. If you point a gun at a Pasco deputy, you’re going to get shot and that’s what happened today. There are no apologies. There’s no sympathy. He got shot, and I feel horrible for the victims." "Whether he dies, he dies and if he lives, he’ll spend the rest of his life in prison or he’ll get the death penalty, but his life will no longer be the same because of his actions today." The deputy and Rodriguez were both sent to the hospital. The deputy is expected to recover.

While visiting Magic Kingdom, a young boy wasn’t chasing down Disney characters for autographs. He was more interested in real-life heroes. When he spotted Deputy James McDonel, he ran over and asked for an autograph. Deputy McDonel signed his book and took it a step further by deputizing him on the spot, complete with a junior deputy badge. The boy’s mom recorded the moment and sent it to us, and we’re proud to share it here.

How down to earth and emotionally intelligent he is. He doesn’t attempt to force people into his way of thinking. He doesn’t grandstand. He just vehemently disagrees, and he’ll always be there to defend his own stance on the world. With a smile on his face while he’s at it.

Deputy ambushed immediately upon exiting his cruiser. On May 13, 2026, Marion County Sheriff’s Deputy Robert Fitch responded to a suspicious person call in a wooded area in Dunnellon, Florida. The bodycam footage shows the moment he exits his vehicle and is immediately ambushed by 38-year-old Heriberto Medina Marquez. Marquez didn't just resist; he lunged at the deputy, knocked him to the ground, and began repeatedly trying to injure the deputy with a kn!F3. In a miraculous turn of events, Deputy Fitch’s ballistic vest absorbed the force of the attack. As backup arrived, Fitch can be heard saying, "He was steady hitting my chest, but my vest got it." After the struggle, Marquez fled into the woods, leading to a brief pursuit before he was apprehended. While in the back of the patrol car, the suspect's chilling lack of remorse was on full display, as he reportedly told deputies, "I should have k!lled you, you know that, right?" Deputy Fitch has thankfully been treated and released with minor injuries. Marquez is currently being held without bond at the Marion County Jail, facing charges of attempted m*rd*r of a law enforcement officer, resisting arrest, and providing a false name.

It only takes a split second for a tragedy to happen. As we begin #NationalPedestrianSafety month, this particular incident should serve as a reminder to take an extra few seconds to ensure the path you are turning into is clear of those in the crosswalk. #DCSO Deputy Montgomery was working traffic enforcement when he spotted this car turning left on a flashing yellow turn signal, almost into the path of two cyclists (one a child) in the crosswalk. The cyclists had the right-of-way. The driver is responsible for ensuring the path is clear before they turn; this means that no one is in the crosswalk. Thinking you could make it before the pedestrian or cyclist gets across is a huge safety risk that no one should take. #DriveSmartandSafe
