Yesterday, Sheriff Joseph Roybal and members of the El Paso County Sheriff’s Office attended the Faith & First Responders Forum at Woodmen Valley Chapel in Monument. The event gathered law enforcement, fire personnel, and leaders from education and faith communities in northern El Paso County to discuss public safety, quality-of-life issues, and ways to work together.
Sheriff Roybal, along with representatives from the Monument Police Department and Tri-Lakes Fire Protection District, met with local faith leaders to exchange perspectives on challenges affecting the region.
“One of the core tenets of community policing is the understanding crime is not solely a law enforcement problem,” said El Paso County Sheriff Joseph Roybal. “It is a community issue, and law enforcement is one part of a broader community infrastructure. Conversations such as this help us better understand what other key institutions are experiencing as they work to support the quality of life in our communities.”
“My Office remains committed to building strong partnerships with community organizations, including faith-based groups, to promote trust, collaboration, and a shared commitment to public safety throughout the Pikes Peak region.”
