This week, the El Paso County Sheriff’s Office is joining forces with the Colorado Springs Police Department, Denver Police Department, Aurora Police Department, Colorado State Patrol, Monument Police Department, Fountain Police Department, and the Pueblo Police Department, to address expired vehicle registration & unregistered vehicle violations along front range roads and highways.

“The citizens of El Paso County have voiced their concerns and frustration over the increase in vehicles with expired registration or no road registration at all,” said El Paso County Sheriff Joseph Roybal. “As a response, my Office has committed to a surge in enforcement of this issue alongside our neighboring law enforcement agencies and a continued intentional enforcement of these violations. While my deputies continue to prioritize enforcement of violations such as speeding, distracted driving, reckless behavior, and impaired driving, we will increase our focus on identifying vehicles with expired registrations during this planned operation.

“As responsible citizens, it is our duty to ensure publicly used essential services, such as roads, are properly funded and maintained. I highly encourage the El Paso County citizens to check their plates and registration documents and, if necessary, update their vehicle registration accordingly.”

“At the El Paso County Clerk and Recorder Office, we make it simple for citizens to register their vehicles,” said El Paso County Clerk and Recorder Steve Schleiker. “There are 15 locations across the Pikes Peak region, including several easy-to-use kiosks. The funds collected for vehicle registrations pay for our roads and bridges here in El Paso County, in our municipalities, and across Colorado. I thank Sheriff Roybal and participating law enforcement agencies for bringing awareness to this issue while still working to keep the community safe and hold criminals accountable.”
