The Summit County Sheriff's Office, located in Breckenridge, Colorado, was established in 1861.  The office has 73 employees, divided into four divisions: Operations, Detentions, Animal Control and the Office of Emergency Management, all overseen by Sheriff Minor and Undersheriff Woodman.

The Operations Division, supervised by Captain Jamie FitzSimons, is comprised of Patrol, Investigations, Search & Rescue, Water Rescue, Special Operations, S.W.A.T., the Explorer Program, TRAK-IT, Records Management, Concealed Handgun Permits and Administrative Services.

The Detentions Division, supervised by Captain Erik Bourgerie, includes the Jail, Community Service, Civil Process Service, court security and extradition. Our detention facility can accommodate up to 95 inmates each day and frequently houses inmates from neighboring counties.

The Animal Control Division, supervised by Lesley Hall, encompasses both Animal Control and the Animal Shelter.  In addition to enforcing the animal control regulations for unincorporated Summit County, the Animal Control & Shelter also facilitates animal adoptions and educational programs.

The Office of Emergency Management (OEM), supervised by Sr. Sergeant Joel Cochran, provides coordination of elected offices and county departments in preparedness, planning, response and recovery to emergencies and disasters. 
The OEM maintains the county emergency operations center and implements
and executes emergency preparedness exercises for the county.
