Denver Executive Director of Public Safety, Armando Saldate and Sheriff Elias Diggins welcomed sixteen new deputies to the Denver Sheriff Department (DSD) at the graduation ceremony for the first class of 2023, class 2023-1.
The new deputy sheriffs completed a very challenging fifteen-week academy and now join a public safety team comprised of dedicated public servants who play a vital role in maintaining the safety and security of the individuals in their care within Denver’s Jails.
The new deputies will begin their new assignments at the Downtown Detention Center and the Denver County Jail where they will be responsible for providing safe and secure custody for individuals in custody.
The next DSD Training Academy will begin in July. The Denver Sheriff Department is currently recruiting and interested individuals can apply here.
