El Paso County Sheriff’s Office Regional Training Academy’s Class 23-3 graduates

EL PASO COUNTY, Colo. (KRDO) - The El Paso County Sheriff's Office (EPSO) is graduating the Regional Training Academy’s Class 23-3.

Sheriff Roybal swore in newly POST-certified deputies,  including graduates from other agencies across the state of Colorado. 21 POST Certified El Paso County Deputy Recruits, and two Teller County Sheriff’s Office Recruits, graduated.

This will be the second class to graduate since Sheriff Roybal announced he would be bringing back the requirement of POST certification in January of 2023.

“Graduation is always an exciting day for members of our community and members of the El Paso County Sheriff’s Office,” said El Paso County Sheriff Joseph Roybal. “Earlier this week, we celebrated a 100% pass rate for Class 23-3- a massive accomplishment. These 23 graduating individuals have chosen to take on the righteous responsibility of protecting our community and safeguarding the Constitutional Rights for all citizens, citizens of the community and those incarcerated within our Jail. I thank Sheriff Mikesell for entrusting our office with the task of training his recruits. We are grateful for the amazing partnerships we share with all the law enforcement agencies of the Pikes Peak region.”

“I could not have asked for a better partnership, than the one we hold with the El Paso County Sheriff’s Office,” said Teller County Sheriff Jason Mikesell. “The top-notch training our new deputies have received over the past 24 weeks will be instrumental to their careers as law enforcement agents. I thank Sheriff Roybal for opening his training program to law enforcement agencies in the Pikes Peak region and giving us a unique opportunity to develop and train the next generation of leadership.” 

The next Regional Training Academy POST certified class will graduate in early Spring 2024, with multiple state-wide law enforcement agencies represented.
