New Fingerprint Procedures

Effective June 1, 2019, LCSO will no longer be able to provide fingerprint card services for civilians needing them for employment and/or background checks.  The Colorado Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has implemented the Colorado Applicant Background Services (CABS) program for these services.  Please see the CBI Employment Background Check webpage for more information.

LCSO will continue providing fingerprint services for concealed handgun permits, court orders, and registered sex offenders.

The NCDTF welcomes your comments or information. In order to be truly successful in any law enforcement activity, the community’s support is essential. If you have a tip or believe there may be drug activity in your neighborhood, please contact the Drug Tip Hotline at (970) 416-2560.

Retired Law Enforcement Officer Authority to Carry Concealed Firearms (HR-218)

Under Federal regulations (HR-218), the Sheriff will issue annual qualification cards to retired law enforcement officers who meet the requirements.

Threats to our security can take many forms.  We all remember the September 11, 2001 terrorism attack on our World Trade Center, Shanksville, Pa, and our Pentagon.  As part of recommended changes following these attacks, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the U.S.  Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and the State of Colorado Information Analysis Center (CIAC) developed a centralized information gathering and sharing program to deter and prevent terrorism and criminal activity related to homegrown violence, domestic or international terrorism.  The Larimer County Sheriff’s Office

Public safety is our first priority. Our second priority is to ensure new recruits, and all employees, are supported at work and home. We may live in one of the best places in the United States, but we are not immune to natural disasters, accidents, and violence. That’s where you come in.

What are the characteristics of a strong neighborhood watch program (NW)?

Each neighborhood is different - each has its own demographics, issues, size and interests. This is why the NW program is so valuable - it is flexible enough to meet communities of all sizes and shapes!
