Colorado Springs Pueblo, CO, October 26, 2026 —
Teller County sheriff’s deputies conducted patrols in Pike National Forest during the summer, and the patrols were reported to have resulted in an 80% decrease in crime. The available information does not specify when the patrols began or ended, how many incidents were recorded, or what period was used for comparison.
No breakdown was provided of the crimes included in the reported decrease, the areas of the forest covered, or the methods used to calculate the figure. The information also does not identify how many deputies took part or how frequently patrols were conducted.
Without those details, the 80% figure cannot be assessed against a stated baseline or tied to particular crime categories. The information provided does not say whether other factors were considered in describing the change or whether the figure was independently verified.
The sheriff’s office did not provide further details in the trend summary, including incident totals, patrol schedules, or statements from officials. As a result, the reported decrease is the only quantified outcome available, and its scope and measurement remain unspecified.
