El Paso County Sheriff Terry Maketa has changed his mind when it comes to serving a possible third term. Monday, during a rally at the Sheriff's office, he announced his intent to once again make a bid for the position.
A spokesperson for the Sheriff's Office says Maketa made the decision after receiving numerous e-mails and letters, followed by a showing of support at the actual office on Monday afternoon. About 80 to 100 people braved the snowfall to show their support.
Maketa is now serving his second term in the position, and just last month announced that he wouldn't seek a third term, and would enter the private sector. The show of support appears to have changed his mind.
Two others also intend to compete for the office of Sheriff in November. Former El Paso County Sheriff's Lieutenant Todd Evans and Monument Police Chief Jake Shirk have also decided to run.

Maketa is the best we could ask for. CSPD would do well to learn from his example as he truly serves and protects our community.

Sheriff Maketa is a very talented, intelligent and ethical person who cares a great deal about his community and family. He puts his heart and soul into the job. It is unfortunate that there are those unhappy, self loathing people who do not take risk or responsibility for anything they do, but who want to share their misery by taking time thinking up things to say against others who they have a need to try to bring down to their own low morals.
