Boulder County Sheriff's Office


The Boulder County Sheriff's Office and the Town of Lyons entered into a contractual law enforcement agreement in 1989. The contract details the basic services to be provided by the Sheriff's Office including the provision of a Sheriff's substation in Town, Sergeant Bill Crist who acts as the Town's law enforcement administrator, a full-time deputy, and investigative and animal control services. These resources are supplemented by 3 additional deputies who work out of the Lyons substation, and who provide coverage to the unincorporated area surrounding Lyons.
