About Us

Enter the doors of the Government Center and pass through security. The Sheriff’s office is the first office on the right once you pass through security.

If there is an emergency, you may dial 911 to obtain emergency assistance.

The Sheriff performs various duties and has much responsibility in serving the courts and the public. If you require a meeting with the Sheriff, it is best to call prior to visiting to ensure he is available to meet with you.

Our deputies are always available and will be able to assist you with most of your questions or concerns you may have.
