The Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office (ACSO) is committed to quality service with an emphasis on integrity, professionalism and community spirit.
The History
Centennial and the ACSO have a longstanding partnership that greatly benefits our community. Since the City’s incorporation – the largest in U.S. history based on population – on February 7, 2001, ACSO has provided law enforcement to our community. Before Centennial’s founding, the ACSO provided law enforcement services to what is now Centennial.
With a population of 100,000+, the need for cohesive and high-quality public safety services was quickly apparent upon the City’s incorporation. The first agreement was executed on May 8, 2001 and has been modernized and updated several times to recognize changes in service level expectations and the evolution of law enforcement.
Services
The economies of scale that come from a larger sheriff’s office committed to delivering community law enforcement help maintain Centennial as one of the safest large cities in Colorado. Centennial’s law enforcement services are provided at a generally lower cost-per-call for service and a lower cost-per-capita than other comparable communities.
Annually, the City and the Sheriff’s Office review service levels provided to the community through our budget process.
