DENVER After 16 weeks of training, the Denver Sheriff Department s Class of 2021-1 was officially sworn in Friday afternoon. It s a different feel from being a recruit. You feel official now, to be completely honest, deputy sheriff Avyn Vaden said.
Vaden, one of 22 new deputies, joined the department after years of working in an office environment and wanting a more physical job. I just sat there one day and I said, I m tired of sitting here. I want to get up and do some physical type of jobs, Vaden said. I don t even know what s to come. I know part of it. I m super excited, but I know that they prepared us for anything that could possibly happen.

DENVER It was a day of celebrations in a year with not a lot to celebrate for the Denver Sheriff Department.
Under a blistering sun outside the Sheriff Department s training center in northeast Denver, 22 men and women were sworn in as sheriff s deputies following 16 weeks of training. And rarely, if ever, in the department s history has it needed a new group of deputies more than it does right now. We are part of a nationwide challenge, a crisis right now. We need help, said Chief Sonya Gillespie, who heads the Sheriff Department s administrative division.
