With Mesa County changing its public health guidance to Free to Choose and allowing more choice regarding precautions like wearing a mask, local law enforcement agencies have followed suit.
Mesa County Sheriffâs Office Public Information Officer Megan Terlecky said the public is not required to wear masks when in the office, though it is recommended in some instances. The Mesa County Detention Facility is continuing with many of its restrictions since it is considered a congregate living facility.
âWe have opened back up a little bit more,â Terlecky said. âWeâre under Free to Choose, so people who come in are more than welcome to wear a mask if they choose or more than welcome not to. The fingerprinting process we do recommend masks, just because there is close contact involved.â

The Palisade Rim Trail was closed for one day this week due to what Mesa County Sheriffâs Office spokesperson Megan Terlecky said was an unusual call for her office.
At about 10:25 a.m. on Wednesday a woman reported that an unknown man hit her with a rock and attempted to take her keys from her while she was hiking on the trail. She was able to get away with minor injuries and call for help, according to the MCSO.
No suspect was found.
Multiple law enforcement agencies searched the area extensively on foot, with a K-9 unit, drones and a multi-mission aircraft with infrared equipment, the sheriffâs office reports. Investigators were confident that the suspect is no longer in the area.
