Sam Zordel
Senior Deputy / Patrol Supervisor Prowers 4
The Prowers County Sheriff's Office has 8 full time
Deputies that handle the call load. They answer calls for service and
deputy initiated calls as all law enforcement do, however calls are not
the only functions a Sheriff's Office is responsible for. Civil Process,
Eviction notices, Sheriff's Sales, Writs of Restitution, Courtroom Security, and Criminal
Process are also tasks that must be handled. Patrol Deputies also assist
the Detention Staff with taking inmates to court and handling
investigations that might occur from crimes in the jail facility. The
Sheriff's Office is also contracted as the primary law enforcement
agency for the Town of Holly, Colorado
The newly created Detective's position is one of the
newest assets to the Sheriff's Office case load. This allows Deputies to
respond to calls and take on the initial investigation. However, if the
incident requires inactivation due to evidence or the identification of
a suspect, the Detective will be able to revisit the case again as
evidence or information has been brought to light.
The Sheriff's Office makes attempts to reduce funding in some areas of operations. We have been able to apply for and receive grants from Federal Agencies that result in equipment transfers to our agency. We have received three thermal imaging devices since 2001. These devices allow deputies to search larger areas in the cover of darkness. It also allows greater safety for Officers. This equipment can be used in search and rescue operations as well.
