Next month, George Brauchler will become the first district attorney for Douglas, Elbert and Lincoln counties.
George Brauchler, the newly elected district attorney for the newly formed 23rd Judicial District, shows a map showing where he says criminals can drive to bypass the new district, during a press conference at the Douglas County Administration Building in Castle Rock, Colorado on Dec. 18, 2024.
Brauchler on Wednesday stood with nearly three dozen politicians and law enforcement officers and declared that he planned to put criminals in jail as often as he can. “My focus is, we are going to grab you up, you are going to get the ride to jail, and we are going to take a look if you fit something other than this PR bond, and, if not, we are going to release you,” he said in an interview.
But he doesn’t expect much to change on the ground for his deputies. Since he took office, Weekly has asked deputies to book people into jail whenever possible, he said, and that will remain the goal, though whether deputies drive someone to jail will depend on how busy they are and the particulars of the case.
“We’re not really going to change anything on our side,” he said. “…We just evaluate each situation on its own merits, and some people we will serve and release, but others, due to other circumstances, if they have drugs on them or in a stolen car, they’re probably going to be booked.”
