The HDSA Scholarship
Shop with a Hero - December
Shop with a Hero started as “Shop with a Cop”. Teller County’s Deputies volunteered on their time off to shop with underprivileged children to buy Christmas gifts for their families. The HDSA raised the funds for these children to spend and administered the event. We had so much good will that soon we had first responders from most of Teller County’s organizations volunteering their time off to participate. The name was eventually changed to “Shop with a Hero”, and since then we’ve had participation from all of the county’s fire districts, the police of Woodland Park, Cripple Creek and Green Mountain Falls, Colorado State Patrol, our county’s emergency medical first responders, USDA Law Enforcement, Colorado Division of Gaming, the Park County Sheriff’s Office, and of course the TCSO Sheriff, senior staff, and deputies.
If you are from a state or federal agency and would like to join us in escorting our county’s children in buying gifts, please reach out to us using the button below…
Deputy and ERT Equipment
The HDSA proudly provides funding to provide safety and survivability equipment for our Deputies. This can include providing new equipment to new Deputies, updating equipment as the missions of the Sheriff’s Office evolve, and covering new equipment as the Sheriff’s Office meets new end emerging requirements.
Community Engagement Events
The HDSA realizes that community engagement and transparency is vital in maintaining trust between the Sheriff’s Office and the community it serves. To facilitate this, the HDSA provides funding that make National Night Out and the Sheriff’s Open House possible. At these events, our county’s residents come to interact at a personal level with Deputies, Posse Members, Command Staff, and the Sheriff. These events are also attended by county and municipal leaders, making them great opportunities to talk with those we rely on to shape life in Teller County.
