With the health and safety of the community, staff, and those booked into the Moffat County Jail at the Moffat County Public Safety Center, the three local law enforcement agencies – Moffat County Sheriff’s Office, Craig Police Department, and Colorado State Patrol – are implementing additional safety measures at the building.

As a result of Governor Jared Polis’s order to stay at home, as well as public health’s recommendations for social distancing, access to the lobby at the Public Safety Center will be restricted moving forward.
