Grand County Sheriff Brett Schroetlin’s oath to protect and serve doesn’t end at the county line.

“Now to see such a critical crisis like this continuing, our hearts are with all of those involved. Politics is, unfortunately, affecting lives,” Schroetlin said.

“It’s incredible. You know, we all work. We all want to save lives. That’s part of the reason that we’re in this job is we want to make a difference with our communities. We want to make a difference in our nation and our world. It’s not always the big things that make a difference. It’s these small little things from the small communities that can make a difference in the big picture,” Schroetlin said.
