ABOUT SHERIFF FEYEN
Sheriff Feyen is committed to serving the residents of Larimer County with integrity and fairness. He has dedicated his life to public service and wants to continue to serve the community as Larimer County Sheriff.
CAREER OF SERVICE
In 1987, John started his service as a paramedic in the Kansas City, MO metropolitan area. Four years later, John and his wife moved to Larimer County where he continued serving the citizens of Loveland, Berthoud, and the Big Thompson Canyon as a paramedic/firefighter.
In 2000, John was called to serve his community in another way and joined the Larimer County Sheriff’s Office (LCSO). His first two years were spent serving in the Estes Valley as a patrol deputy. John then moved to investigations as a Crimes Against Persons investigator where he discovered a deep passion for helping child victims. John’s investigative and leadership skills earned him promotions to sergeant, and eventually lieutenant, leading the day-to-day operations of the LCSO Investigations Division.
While most of John’s time at LCSO was spent in investigations, he also served the citizens of Wellington as the sergeant of the LCSO Wellington Squad. In 2013, when the Berthoud Police Department failed to meet community expectations, the Berthoud Board of Trustees appointed John the Interim Police Chief which later resulted in the Town of Berthoud contracting with LCSO for law enforcement services.
During his time at LCSO, John gained invaluable experience not often achieved by those with only town or city police experience. John led evacuation efforts in Rist Canyon, Poudre Canyon, and Redstone Canyon during the 2012 High Park Fire and served as Law Command on many occasions. On the first day of the 2013 flood, John again led evacuations and later was on the first helicopter into Pinewood Springs to provide support to the community. He also led a FEMA Rescue Team into Waltonia Canyon to help locate and rescue those stranded by the flood.
In 2019, John accepted an offer to serve the citizens of Fort Collins as an Assistant Chief with Fort Collins Police Services. In that time, John has led the Patrol Division, Special Operations Division, and the Information Services Division within Police Services.
In 2022, John was elected as Larimer County Sheriff.
