Community shows gratitude for Sheriff’s Office on Valentine’s Day

The Evergreen community joined together on Valentine’s Day to show its appreciation and love for Jeffco sheriff’s deputies by bringing Valentines, food and beverages to the mountain precinct.

Evergreen sheriff's deputies Randy Carmickle, Dee Patterson and Austin Saarri pose for a photo after reading Valentine's Day cards given to the mountain precinct.

The effort came together through a simple post on Facebook on Feb. 7 from Alex Hawley, who wanted the community to show its appreciation for the deputies, especially after the killings of three members of law enforcement in Colorado since New Year’s Eve.

Her post on Evergreen Colorado Neighbors and Friends simply said: “I am not sure really where this might go or what exactly to do but was wondering if anyone is interested (in) working together to do something nice to show our support for the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office? It doesn’t necessarily mean raising money but just something to show appreciation for local law enforcement!”

Within a week, about 100 residents got involved by dropping off food, cards and gifts, and businesses helped out, too.
