I am honored to present you with our department’s 2020 Annual Report. 2020 proved to be a most challenging year for everyone; however, our number one priority continued to be the safety and security of our residents, business community and visitors. Castle Rock Police officers, civilian staff and volunteers work every day to serve people one by one. We call this One-By-One Policing, and it takes community policing to a higher and more personal level. This is truly about serving people one by one so together, we can create safe and secure environments where people can thrive, which is also the definition of our vision statement. We strive to go beyond providing a safe community by focusing on community engagement, earning trust, building relationships and creating an environment where our community views us not only their protectors but as trusted friends and fellow community members. In 2020, our dedicated and highly trained staff of 80 sworn officers, 32 civilians along with numerous volunteers worked tirelessly every day to do just that. One-By-One Policing is the vehicle that facilitates this goal. Castle Rock continues to be one of the safest and fastest-growing communities in the country. The Town received a No. 6 rating in the 2020 list of safest cities in Colorado (p. 12). Below are many of our community-based programs, which focus on providing a safe community and building trust. Unfortunately, most were canceled due to COVID-19 restrictions. • AdaptABILITY Cycling • Citizens Police Academy • Coffee With A Cop • COPS Camp • Crime Free Multi-Housing • Dirt Jumps and Donuts • Domestic Violence Lethality Assessment Program • Drug Take Back Events • Heroes and Helpers • National Night Out • Police Explorers • R-U-OK Elderly Check-ins • Santa Drive-Bys and virtual visits • Special Olympics Colorado • Splash Mob • Virtual Station Tours and Story Time

Our annual report highlights the work of the men and women of the department as well as provides information on crime statistics, performance measurements and division highlights. Please connect with us on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Nextdoor for the latest Castle Rock Police news. Thank you for supporting the dedicated men and women of our department, especially last year with all the cookies, pizzas, doughnuts, appreciation cards, sanitizers, masks, and more. We appreciate everything you do to help make Castle Rock a safe and thriving community. I am extremely proud of our employees and honored to serve along with them. Sincerely, Chief of Police Chief Jack Cauley
