Teller County Sheriff Podcast The Teller County Sheriff's Office

In this public service announcement, Sheriff Mikesell discusses marijuana and its relationship to the rising crime rate throughout Colorado. He also discusses the dangers allowing local recreational dispensaries presents to the residents of Teller County and especially to our children. He identifies the current push for recreational dispensaries as coming from casino owners who do not want to pay local taxes and who do not live in the area and therefore have no personal stake in our residential quality of life.

Sheriff Mikesell, Lieutenant Bunting, and Tommy from the Honorary Deputy Sheriff Association discuss the upcoming law enforcement / community event, the National Night Out which will be taking place the evening of August 2nd.

In this episode, we welcome Jay Teague as the new Director for the Office of Emergency Management and talk about the roles and responsibilities of the office.
