Douglas County is the eighth most populous of the 64 counties in Colorado and the largest in size in the Denver Metro area. It is also one of the largest growing counties in the entire United States. * (via wikipedia) Because of this the Douglas County Sheriff's jurisdiction can sometimes be confusing to new residents. You must live in "Unincorporated" Douglas County or the City of Larkspur to report crimes to them.

This is an interesting topic, and a very good article.
Great information and resources for area residents.
I like these types of sites.
Good collection of info here.
The link to Castle Rock on this story is to Castle Rock, WA?
Very good job on this! Get those criminals off the streets! :)
I know this is useful information, but when I check our local website for creeps in the neighborhood, I begin to get a teensy bit nuts. I keep tabs on stuff like that, but I have to be careful not to get obsessive about it... ;)
Great article
Love the info!
