2023 Spring Conference

Several Undersheriffs & Sheriffs from across the state of Colorado came together in Craig, Colorado for the 2023 CSOC Spring Conference.  Our host Sheriff KC Hume of Moffat County did a wonderful job fostering a productive environment for peer networking by helping host a social event at The Warehouse Food Hall sponsored by Turnkey Corrections and NCIC.

2023 Winter Conference

Thank you to our attendees from around Colorado who joined us January 16th – 20th at the Embassy  in Loveland, Colorado for the 26th Annual County Sheriffs of Colorado Winter Conference.  It was great to see the Colorado law enforcement community together again for a few days of learning, and networking. As in 2020-2022, the Colorado Association of Chiefs of Police were invited to attend to further our collaborative efforts between sheriffs and chiefs through specialized topics in the training sessions, where our attendees gained valuable information, and insights on issues and problems facing Colorado peace officers today. 

We added training this year for Executive Administrative Assistants (EAA) working with law enforcement titled ‘Expect the Unexpected’ which proved to add value to that which is unique to their role.  It was a great opportunity for the EAA’s to meet their colleagues and share their experiences.  Microsoft Productivity Tips and Tricks along with Legislative Process were topic highlights.

With a record number of vendors exhibiting at the conference, attendees were able to learn about the new and innovative products that are available for peace officers. A very special shout out to our valued vendors and sponsors.  Without them our conference would not be possible! Our silent and live auctions raised over $18,000 for our programs, to include scholarships for high school students! Thank you to all bidders and donors!  We greatly appreciate your continued support of Colorado's Sheriffs. We are looking forward to our next conference in Moffat County in April.

 Thank you to our winter conference sponsors!

 2022 New Sheriff Institute

CSOC’s New Sheriff Institute (NSI) was a wonderful success as 25 newly elected and appointed sheriffs attended and went through the 2-week leadership program designed specifically for first-term sheriffs. Office of Sheriff is multifaceted and can include a combination of responsibilities and lines of service to include organizational development: core values, court security, jail operations, prisoner transportation, emergency response resources, evidence management, the legislature, and statutory duties of the sheriff to name a few.  We are very proud of our county sheriffs and congratulate them on this great achievement!

Thank you to our NSI sponsors!

Thank you to all our NSI sponsors and vendors for your ongoing support of our sheriffs as your contribution and support are vital to continue our important work.

Thank you to the Archuleta County Sheriff's Office for hosting the 2022 Fall Conference! We had a fun, educational week in beautiful Pagosa Springs. Training sessions were informative and highly beneficial. The sheriffs and undersheriffs enjoyed great weather, opportunities to socialize and collaborate, and learning from our presenters. The banquets hosted at Keyah Grande on top of the BBQ and music nights at The Last Resort added a special flare to our time in Pagosa Springs.  Thank you to all our sponsors who helped make this another successful conference!

2022 Winter Conference

We were thrilled to return to the Embassy Suites Loveland for our annual Winter Conference and Vendor Show.

Training sessions focused on legislation, compliance, and community engagement were highlights. Our silent and live auctions raised over $8,000.00 for our scholarship program! Thank you to all bidders and donors. As always, this event would not have been possible without our vendors and sponsors. Thank you for your continued support of Colorado's Sheriffs. We are looking forward to our next conference in Eagle, CO in April!
