The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office recently took to social media to share a celebratory announcement for its latest batch of law enforcement graduates. According to the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office post on their official Facebook page, Class 21 of the Highlands Ranch Law Enforcement Training Academy marks the addition of 12 new deputies to the Sheriff’s Office.

Acknowledging their dedication, Sheriff Weekly imparted words of wisdom and expectation, “You have a responsibility to raise the bar for our profession, and to do the job right.
