I am honored to present you with the department’s 2022 Annual Report. Our number one priority continues to be the safety and security of our residents, business community and visitors. Castle Rock Police officers, dispatchers, professional staff and volunteers work every day to serve people one-by-one. We call this One-By-One Policing, and it takes community policing to a higher and more personal level. This is truly about serving people one-by-one so together, we can create safe and secure environments where people can thrive, which is also the definition of our vision statement.

We strive to go beyond providing a safe community by focusing on community engagement, earning trust, building relationships and creating an environment where our community views us not only as their protectors but as trusted friends and fellow community members. In 2022, our dedicated and highly trained staff of 87 sworn officers, 32 professional staff members and numerous volunteers worked tirelessly every day to be just that.

Castle Rock continues to be one of the safest and fastest-growing communities in the country. The Town received a No. 12 rating in the 2022 list of safest cities in Colorado (p. 12). In fact, in 2022 we experienced a significant decrease in overall crime. We attribute our ability to provide a safe and secure community to people, innovation and community.

• People – our police officers, dispatchers and professional staff

• Innovation – state-of-the-art technology such as license plate readers with a focus on an innovative mindset

• Community – earning community trust, relationship building, and community engagement

All the above are tied together by our unique organizational culture and our One-By-One Policing philosophy. Below are many of our community-based programs focusing on providing a safe community and building trust.
