Three record department employees within the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office have been diagnosed with COVID-19.

In response to this recent diagnosis, officials from the sheriff’s office announced that all in-person meetings are cancelled until further notice.

“Out of precaution we’re closing the in-person meetings with records to the public,” said Public Information Officer Mike Taplin. 

Taplin said he did not know the last time the three employees were in the office. 

Anyone who had an appointment scheduled for fingerprinting or concealed handgun permits are being asked to call the sheriff’s office to reschedule the meeting. 

In-person meetings are tentatively set to reopen to the public beginning on Dec. 7.

Online record requests can still be made online at the sheriff’s office website here, or by calling 303-271-5542.
