Cooking with a Cop🍅 🧑🍳 👮
Douglas County Sheriff’s Office School Resource Office Burriesci recently put on his apron, that of course has a badge on it, at Sedalia Elementary, joining students for a special "Cooking with a Cop" class!
Thanks to the school’s incredible sustainability program, they had fresh tomatoes and basil right in their garden to make grilled caprese sandwiches.
Together with the students, our deputies took orders from Deputy Burriesci, cleaning, chopping, marinating, and assembling some truly delicious results.
Grazie to Sedalia Elementary for having us and for reminding us that community, cooking, and connection make the perfect recipe! 💙

Justice. Kindness. Humility.
Three words. One commitment. Every day.
Behind the badge, beyond the uniform, and throughout our community, these values guide the work our officers do. From the moments everyone sees to the quiet acts of service few ever notice, the mission remains the same: serve with integrity, treat people with compassion, and lead with humility.
We don’t get every moment perfect, but we strive for excellence, showing up, doing the work, and hoping to make a difference.
Because public safety means more than enforcing the law. It means educating, earning trust, and building relationships.
It matters, Loveland. You deserve it.

🚔 SPD DRIVER TRAINING AT FLATROCK! 🏁
Putting some of our older patrol vehicles back to work today at Flatrock!
Sterling PD officers spent the day sharpening their driving skills through low-speed maneuvering courses and high-speed track exercises.
These training days give officers an opportunity to improve their vehicle handling, decision-making, and driving skills in a controlled environment.
And it’s always good to give the older fleet a little action! 🚓💨
Good day to train!

Congratulations to K9 Zohan, who celebrated his retirement today alongside some of his K9 friends from surrounding law enforcement agencies! Zohan has actually been enjoying retired life for several months, but today BPD had the chance to officially say thank you and goodbye to one very good boy. 🐶
During his career with Officer Cornett, Zohan:
✔️ Conducted 455 vehicle sniffs
✔️ Assisted in 316 arrests
✔️ Helped seize more than 3,000 grams of meth
✔️ 1,200 grams of fentanyl
✔️ 1,100 grams of cocaine
✔️ 185 grams of MDMA
✔️ 40 grams of heroin
✔️ Helped recover 21 firearms
✔️ Helped seize more than $77,000 in cash
✔️ Assisted in 24 suspect surrenders
✔️ And had just TWO bites during his career!
Pretty impressive numbers for a guy who now plans to spend his days napping, eating and enjoying retirement while continuing to live with Officer Cornett. His replacement, Louie, has already completed training and is enjoying taking over the watch from Zohan.
Oh, and Deputy Chief Stutson took one last "bite" to the arm from Zohan while wearing the protective sleeve. 😆

🚨 A message from Chief Brice Current on road rage 🚨
We've all felt that flash of frustration behind the wheel - but a five-second delay isn't worth a lifetime of consequences. From tailgating to brandished weapons, road rage in our community is turning ordinary drives into dangerous situations.
Chief Current's ask is simple: be considerate. You never know what the person next to you is going through. That car is two tons of steel - not a way to settle a dispute.
If you are experiencing aggressive or threatening behavior on the road, do not engage. Create distance when you can and call 911.
We all have somewhere to be. Let’s make sure everyone gets there safely. 🚗💙

Slow down, move over and yield for emergency vehicles.
Oh, and please, please don't drive drunk.
Yesterday afternoon just after 4 p.m., we had a scary moment for two of our officers. They were on their way to another scene at a local middle school where a fight had occurred, and one student was being threatened with a knife.
These are the types of calls that necessitate lights and sirens. We need to get there to keep kids safe.
But, our officers didn’t make it because 32-year-old Aurora resident Anthony Robinson got behind the wheel intoxicated and did not yield to our officers.
As they were clearing the intersection at South Peoria Street and East Yale Avenue, Robinson T-boned our patrol vehicle, causing it to overturn onto two other vehicles.
Robinson initially attempted to flee, but his vehicle wouldn't get him far. We found him less than a block away and took him into custody. Inside his vehicle we found an empty bottle of liquor and drug paraphernalia.
We don't share this video for the scare factor; we share this video to remind everyone of how important it is to yield for our patrol vehicles. When you see lights and sirens activated, it's for a good reason.
Thankfully, both officers were seen for minor injuries and have since been released from the hospital. Oh and the call they were responding to yesterday? We subsequently located and arrested the teen involved in the fight.
Robinson was arrested on probable cause of driving under the influence, leaving the scene of a crash involving injury, failure to yield right of way to an emergency vehicle, possession of a controlled substance, and driving without insurance.
And a special thanks to those good samartians who stopped to help our officers, we are so grateful.

Amazing work, Sergeant King! This citizen was very impressed with her interaction. Look at what she had to say! It is worth the read!
A Review for Sgt. King — The State Trooper Who Showed Up at EXACTLY the Right Time
Yesterday morning, August 18, 2026, I had the very unfortunate AND very fortunate experience of meeting Sgt. King.
The unfortunate part? I was sitting on the side of the highway with a flat tire. The fortunate part? Sgt. King was the State Trooper who stopped to check on me.
Let me explain.
Just six days earlier, I had purchased four brand-new tires for my minivan AND had a spare tire built specifically because I was traveling out of town to Greeley for a dog show. Well, one of those SIX-DAY-OLD tires decided it had fulfilled its purpose in life and went flat on the highway.
Fortunately, my friend and I are two pretty capable women, so we got out there in our dog-show clothes, took the flat tire off, and went to put my brand-new spare on.
Except...
The tire company hadn't given me the correct lug nuts for the wheel.
So there I was on the side of the highway with two dogs in tow, a Great Dane and a German Shepherd mix, while my friend headed out to find the correct lug nuts. I'm trying to figure out when she's coming back, whether we're going to make our ring time, and exactly how my responsible, adult decision to BUY A SPARE TIRE had somehow still left me stranded on the highway.
And then along comes SGT. KING!!!
Now, he took me by surprise at first, but I'm not a criminal, so police don't scare me. Funny how that works, right??? LOL. He asked me what the problem was, and I explained the entire situation. Then he did something I honestly don't believe he HAD to do.
He got down there and helped. Sgt. King removed the spare, repositioned my van so it would be easier and safer to get the tire back on, and showed me different ways to use the tools I already had. He didn't just stand there and supervise. He actually took the time to HELP me and teach me something in the process.
Before he left to answer another call, he made sure I was okay, gave me his card, and told me that if I had any more problems, I needed to call him.
My friend eventually returned with the correct lug nuts, PRAISE GOD!!!
And guess who came back? SGT. KING. Again, he didn't have to do that. We got everything taken care of, and because I truly wanted people to know who this man was, I asked him if I could take a picture with him. Then I looked at him and asked, "Is your body camera on?" He said, "Yes." PERFECT. I looked directly into that body camera and said: "THIS GUY NEEDS A RAISE!" And for the record, I MEANT IT.
Once everything was finished and the tire was loaded back into my van, Sgt. King asked if there was anything else he could help me with.
Well... Since he asked... I said, "Do you have the winning lottery numbers?" He said, "No." Okay. So THAT is my one complaint about Sgt. King. Apparently the Colorado State Patrol has failed to properly train its Sergeants in the prediction of winning lottery numbers. I believe this should be addressed immediately.
My friend got into her SUV, I got into my minivan, he had his lights turned on and pulled out a little bit so my friend and I could safely enter the highway and go to the tire store to get this mishap fixed.
Other than that glaring deficiency in knowledge of lottery numbers, I would give him a 10/10 for service.
All jokes aside, what Sgt. King did mattered to me. I was a woman stranded on the side of a highway with two dogs, dealing with a situation that should never have happened in the first place. He could have simply stopped, made sure I wasn't injured, and continued on his way.
Instead, he helped. He taught. He checked on my safety. He gave me a way to contact him if I needed additional assistance. Then, after being called away to do his actual job, he came back to make sure we were okay.
Those things deserve to be acknowledged.
People are often quick to tell stories when someone in law enforcement does something wrong. I think we should be just as willing to tell the stories when someone does something RIGHT.
So, from one Veteran who once took an oath to serve to someone who also took an oath to protect and serve:
Thank you, Sgt. King, for your professionalism, kindness, compassion, and service.
You turned a pretty miserable situation into one of the good memories from a very interesting weekend.
And I stand by what I told your body camera:
THIS GUY NEEDS A RAISE!
Although I'm deducting half a point until you work on those lottery numbers.
So 9.5/10 it is. Would absolutely recommend being rescued by Sgt. King again.
Preferably under circumstances that do NOT involve me sitting on the side of the highway.
God, Family, Work, in that order.

Durango, what is happening?
First, we had kangaroos.
Then bears.
Now we’ve got BADGERS.
At this point, we’re one escaped penguin away from being a full-service zoo.
And this badger?
He did not give a shhhhhh.
Not one.
Zero concerns.
Just out here stomping around Durango like he pays property taxes.
As entertaining as our latest wildlife guest may be, badgers are wild animals with strong claws and sharp teeth, and they have absolutely no interest in your selfie. Give them space, keep pets back, and let them continue whatever important badger business brought them into town.
Durango wildlife bingo is getting weird.
