Background and experience. James Van Beek is a Colorado native, U.S. Army veteran, and longtime Eagle County resident with more than three decades in public service. First elected Sheriff in 2014, he brings over 30 years of law enforcement experience and more than 34 years in uniform. Since joining the Eagle County Sheriff's Office in 1989, he has served as a patrol deputy, field training officer, detective, and law enforcement leader. His work has also reached beyond the county: nearly nine years supporting international policing efforts with the United Nations in Kosovo and as a police mentor supervisor in Afghanistan. He is a graduate of the FBI National Academy and a former President of the County Sheriffs of Colorado.
Why he's running. Van Beek frames his work around leadership, public safety, and trust between law enforcement and the communities it serves. As a husband, father, veteran, and longtime resident, he remains focused on keeping communities safe, promoting transparency and accountability, and ensuring Eagle County stays a place where families can thrive.
