The First Seven Months of Being Larimer County Sheriff
Sheriff John Feyen
John Feyen started his career of service as a paramedic in the Kansas City, MO metropolitan area in 1987. He and his wife moved to Larimer County to continue his service as a paramedic/firefighter.
In 2019, John accepted an offer as an Assistant Chief with Fort Collins Police Services and served with the agency until 2022. In that time, he led the Patrol Division, Special Operations Division, and the Information Services Division.
John was elected to serve as the Larimer County Sheriff and was sworn in on January 10, 2023.
Today’s presentation will be about John’s first 7 months in office, what changes he has made and plans for the future.

The money will be used to ship at least 20 solar panels to Rotary clubs in Ukraine. The clubs will distribute the panels to medical facilities, schools, military units and other critical entities based on the most current urgent needs. Each portable panel can charge 4 cell phones at once providing users with communication abilities that many areas have lost due to loss of electricity resulting from Russian attacks on Ukrainian infrastructure.
