DENVER (KDVR) The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office is looking for whoever hung up a fraudulent flyer announcing “random genital inspections” at public restrooms.
The flyer was signed as the “Jefferson County Sheriff’s Department,” which is not the office’s real name, but also included the agency’s logo.
“In compliance with recent Executive Orders, the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Department will be conducting random genital inspections at all public restrooms beginning April 21, 2025,” the flyer stated.
It’s unclear which, if any, executive orders were being referenced in the flyer. President Donald Trump has signed several executive orders aimed at transgender and nonbinary people, including restrictions on federal gender markers (such as on passports) to require the document reflect their sex assigned at birth; banning transgender military service members and mandating that there are two sexes.
The agency was not taking it as a laughing matter.
“Although the insinuation is absolutely absurd, the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office believes it is important to clarify that our agency would never be involved in anything of this sort,” the agency said on X. “The Sheriff’s Office will not tolerate anyone misrepresenting our agency, or misuse of our logo in such a manner.”
The agency said that it would be working to identify those responsible for the “alarming” flyer, and said appropriate charges could be pursued.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the sheriff’s office tipline at 303-271-5612 and tipsters can remain anonymous.
