🚗 Sheriff Roybal, Clerk and Recorder Schleiker Encourage Vehicle Registration Compliance During Enforcement Operation 🛻

From April 5–11, 2026, the El Paso County Sheriff’s Office is joining forces with the El Paso County Clerk & Recorder, Colorado Springs Police Department, Colorado State Patrol, Monument Police Department, Fountain Police Department, and the Palmer Lake Police Department to address expired and unregistered vehicle violations along Front Range roads and highways.

“The citizens of El Paso County have voiced their concerns and frustration over the increase in vehicles with expired registration and vehicles which are not properly registered,” said El Paso County Sheriff Joseph Roybal. “As a response, my Office has committed to a surge in enforcement of this issue alongside our neighboring law enforcement agencies and a continued intentional enforcement of these violations. While my deputies continue to prioritize enforcement of violations such as speeding, distracted driving, reckless behavior, and impaired driving, we will increase our focus on identifying vehicles with expired registrations during this planned operation.”

Colorado has more than 5.2 million registered vehicles statewide. As the most populous county, El Paso County represents a substantial share of the total, meaning even a small percentage of non-compliant vehicles results in a considerable number on local roadways.

“Vehicle registration helps ensure critical transportation infrastructure is properly funded and maintained,” Sheriff Roybal added. “I highly encourage El Paso County residents to check their plates and registration documents and, if necessary, update their vehicle registration accordingly.”

A spring enforcement operation also provides several key benefits to the community, including:

-Reinforcing compliance before increased travel during warmer months;
-Encouraging voluntary renewals through heightened public awareness;
-Supporting public safety by reducing uninsured and unregistered vehicles on the road; and
-Bringing awareness to ongoing outreach efforts about convenient renewal options.

“At the El Paso County Clerk and Recorder’s Office, we make it simple for citizens to register their vehicles,” said El Paso County Clerk and Recorder Steve Schleiker. “There are 15 locations across the Pikes Peak region, including several easy-to-use kiosks. The funds collected for vehicle registrations support our roads and bridges here in El Paso County, in our municipalities, and across Colorado. I thank Sheriff Roybal and participating law enforcement agencies for bringing awareness to this issue while continuing to keep our community safe and hold offenders accountable.”

El Paso County residents can learn more about vehicle registration, renew their registration, and explore available services by visiting the El Paso County Clerk & Recorder's website.
