Jefferson County, Co. – The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office will host an interactive Scout Mystery Day on Saturday, January 5th.  Scout Mystery Day is an educational event for scouting groups in Jefferson County, and will feature education on fingerprinting, crime scene investigation, interview techniques, and evidence collection. 

Each session throughout the day will feature the same curriculum and will be located in the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office headquarters in Golden (200 Jefferson County Parkway, Golden, CO). Sessions last 2 ½ hours, and begin at 8 a.m., with the last session at 4:30 p.m.

Sheriff’s Office scout programs began in 2005 as a response to the high number of speaker requests from scout groups each fall.  The Scout Mystery Day curriculum is designed to help scouts of many age groups fulfill safety-related badge requirements.   Boy and girl scouts of all ages are welcome, as are parents and siblings.  Adults must accompany all scout groups.  Because of space restrictions, RSVPs are required to sheriff@jeffco.us
