As I’m sure our community is aware, our admired Undersheriff, Tonia Kapke, lost her battle with cancer on August 6. In light of this, I’m statutorily required to appoint a new Undersheriff.
I’m pleased to announce the appointment of Greg Demo as the new Undersheriff, effective August 15. Greg brings 37 years of combined military and Colorado law enforcement service, more than 25 years of which were in supervision. He also brings a deep understanding of our office core values and our mission.
Greg has been with the Sheriff’s Office for over 27 years, serving in various capacities, including deputy, corporal, sergeant, and division chief. He is well-prepared to lead our team and our community through this transition and into the future. I am confident Greg will continue the legacy of excellence and service he has already established in this role.
Greg has said, “It is with a heavy heart that I accept this honor to serve the citizens of Gilpin County and the members of the Gilpin County Sheriff’s Office. You have my promise that I will do my best to honor the position and continue serving with integrity, honesty, and excellence. Thank you, Sheriff Armstrong, for placing your confidence in me.”
Please join the Sheriff’s Office in congratulating Greg and welcoming him to this vital position.
