To help the community in understanding the process of Civil Service, we would like to explain our procedures.


Employees of the Pitkin County Sheriff's office are prohibited from giving legal advice. Should you need legal assistance, you may obtain information regarding free legal aid by calling Northwest Colorado Legal Services Project at 1-800-521-6968.

Our office prefers to exercise as much respect toward the individual as possible in the service of civil papers. From time to time, we find it necessary to contact an individual at work. In keeping with our goal of respect we prefer to leave a message for the person to contact us. If we are not contacted by the individual, we go to the place of employment during the individual's scheduled work time and contact the person there.

Fees for service must be paid in advance. Checks can be made out to Pitkin County Sheriff's Department. We will need three copies of the papers to serve with payment and cover sheet. If you are due a refund, a check will be mailed to you. If you owe additional fees, you will be billed. All fees for mileage are per mile, round trip.

Attempted service of papers is based upon the information you provide. Please fill in our cover sheet or provide a cover letter including, name, home address and phone; work address and phone; kind of paperwork to be served (i.e. summons, subpoena etc.) to whom (person, business, registered agent etc.) description of person and best time for service. Also include the date and time the papers must be served by and any other information that may be helpful in completion of service.
