- WHY I AM SEEKING RE-ELECTION FOR SHERIFF -
I’m running for re-election because the people of El Paso County deserve a sheriff who listens, leads with integrity, and never loses sight of who we serve.
Every decision I’ve made has been guided by the needs of our community, from improving safety and expanding services to advocating for responsible legislation.
I’ve seen firsthand the strength, resilience, and pride defining this county, and I’m committed to building a future where every resident feels safe, valued, and heard.
​
My campaign isn’t about a title, it’s about continuing to serve the people who make this county home.
​
I’m proud of the progress we’ve made, but I’m not done yet, there’s still important work ahead, and I intend to finish what we started together.

News - Sheriff Joseph Roybal On Why We Shouldn't Legalize Prostitution

As Sheriff, my foremost responsibilities are to promote public safety, safeguard victims, and hold offenders accountable. Senate Bill 26-097, Decriminalize Adult Commercial Sexual Activity, raises serious concerns across each of these responsibilities.
The bill mandates statewide decriminalization of commercial sexual activity between consenting adults and declares the issue a matter of statewide concern, preempting all local and home-rule laws regulating or prohibiting prostitution-related activity. This action removes the ability of local governments and law enforcement to respond to the distinct public-safety challenges facing their communities.
SB 26-097 repeals multiple criminal offenses, including prostitution, solicitation, patronizing a prostitute, keeping a place of prostitution, public display for prostitution, and key provisions of pandering related to arranging prostitution. Collectively, these repeals would significantly reduce law enforcement’s ability to intervene in situations frequently intertwined with human trafficking, exploitation, organized crime, drug activity, and violence against vulnerable individuals.
