With the holiday spirit ushering in a quieter pace, the Douglas County Sheriff's Office and the Highlands Ranch Substation have announced a brief pause in their operational hours for Christmas. As specified in a recent message released by the Sheriff's Office, both locations are slated to shut their doors early, at noon on December 24, ahead of the Christmas Day closure. During this time, residents can rest assured that response to emergencies remains unaffected—24/7 Emergency Services and 9-1-1 will be fully operational for those in need.
The short respite in normal business activities is a nod to the festive season, allowing officers and staff the time to revel in the holiday with loved ones. While routine administrative services take a pause, the community can find solace in knowing that essential public safety concerns have been anticipated and planned for. According to the Douglas County Sheriff's Office, "All 24/7 Emergency Services and 9-1-1 will be available during this time." Services are expected to resume at 8 a.m. on Friday, Dec. 26, as the staff returns to their posts ready to serve the community once again.
For those planning to visit the Sheriff's Office or the Highlands Ranch Substation, it is important to take note of these changes to avoid any inconvenience. The advance notice provides an opportunity for residents to manage any non-emergency matters before the holiday shutdown. The Sheriff's Office reminds the public that although offices will be closed, their commitment to public safety is unwavering, and officers will be on duty to respond to any emergencies that may arise.
