Special Operations Division

CRPD Employee Appreciation

Our department’s annual employee appreciation barbecue was held in our parking lot this year. Employees gathered together and enjoyed a barbecue grilled by our command staff. The department’s new grill was a nice enhancement from previous years! Special thanks to our commanders and administrative staff for putting on another fun event!

National Night Out

National Night Out (NNO) - August 6, 2019 marked the seventh annual National Night Out celebration hosted by the department at Philip S. Miller Park’s pavilions. Once again, an estimated 1,000 were in attendance. The event provides everyone with an up close and personal look at our divisions, units, police/fire vehicles and features include a great barbecue, inflatable kid rides and a special demonstration by Officer Thompson and Ronin. All police divisions were on hand, and they were a wonderful representation of community policing for our Castle Rock residents and business owners in attendance. A special thanks to Walmart who supported our event! The National Association of Town Watch is a nonprofit organization dedicated to crime-prevention programs like neighborhood watch. The National Night Out events began in 1984 as an effort to promote involvement in crime-prevention activities. The annual event is held the first Tuesday evening in August in towns all across the United States, Canada and on many military bases.
