Text
The marshal or
chief of police has the same power that sheriffs have by law, coextensive with the
county in cases of violation of town ordinances, for offenses committed within the
limits of the town. He or she shall execute all writs and processes directed to him or
her by the municipal judge in any case arising under a town ordinance and receive
the same fees for his or her services that sheriffs are allowed in similar cases. The
marshal or chief of police may employ certified peace officers to enforce all laws of
the state of Colorado notwithstanding section 16-2.5-201.
