David Weaver, the 32th Sheriff of Douglas County, is running for Sheriff in the November 2006 election.

On Jan. 17, Sheriff Weaver formally announced his candidacy to be elected sheriff of Douglas County in the upcoming November 2006 general election.

Thrilled about announcing his candidacy, Sheriff Weaver said, “I am honored to be serving as Douglas County Sheriff and would be grateful to be elected by the community to serve them again. The men and women of the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office stand for Leadership, Integrity, and Service Excellence. As sheriff, I will lead them in providing the best public safety services.”

A member of the Douglas County Republican Party, Sheriff Weaver has served as sheriff of Douglas County since being appointed sheriff by the Board of Douglas County Commissioners on September 1, 2005, following the resignation of Sheriff Mike Acree, who was appointed by Governor Bill Owens as the Deputy Executive Director of the Colorado Department of Public Safety.

Since being appointed, Sheriff Weaver has evaluated all facets of sheriff’s operations and staffing. Reinforcing his standards, he reassigned staff from other assignments so there are more deputies available for providing enhanced direct service, including patrol duty on every shift. He even restructured and downsized his command staff for improved efficiency and fiscal value.

Sheriff Weaver is not a career politician. He is an impressive law enforcement leader who believes in fiscal responsibility, service excellence, integrity, and community partnerships. He cares deeply about the future of public safety and the future of the sheriff’s office. He has dedicated his career to service in Douglas County and gets personal satisfaction out of a job well done.

Throughout his 24-year law enforcement career in Douglas County, Sheriff Weaver has served in nearly every area of sheriff’s office operations and administration, working particularly hard to enhance the changing needs of the county and develop modern ways to provide better service. His education is rooted in management, ethics, and criminal justice, and he is a 2004 honor graduate of the FBI National Academy. His experience is invaluable.

Equally, Sheriff Weaver has a strong vision for responsible, innovative, and effective law enforcement. His overall goal is to lead the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office in replacing the traditional reactive approach with methods that are proactive and fresh. In that effort, he is already working hard to help shape a unified partnership between the sheriff’s office and the three police departments in the county. Sheriff Weaver believes the county will benefit greatly by its law enforcement leaders sharing advanced equipment, training facilities, costly communication resources, and more, saying “together, we will all provide more consistent and cost-effective services to the communities we serve.”

Sheriff Weaver strongly advocates crime prevention, senior safety, teen driver education and skill building, local Homeland Security readiness, and public education programs. In his view, there is no doubt that an informed community is a better prepared and more secure community. He has already begun the process of integrating more citizen volunteers and trained reserve officers into the operations of the agency to provide citizens with quicker service and faster information. Additionally, a new website was deployed by the Sheriff’s Office to make more information readily available and interactive with the community. Most recently, he created a team of patrol deputies (Pattern Crime Unit) whose duty is to identify and arrest pattern criminals and to identify and resolve emerging community crime problems. “It is rewarding to see that their efforts have proven to be very successful,” Sheriff Weaver said.

As Douglas County Sheriff, Dave Weaver will always work to overcome new challenges and adapt services to the needs of the community. He is a leader that will always serve with respect and compassion, and citizens can count on him to be accountable, accessible, and approachable. He offers the proven experience, integrity, and leadership to successfully guide the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office into the future. Learn more about Sheriff David Weaver at www.Weaver4sheriff.org.
