Program Description

As Chief Law Enforcement Officer of the County, the Sheriff is responsible for enforcement of laws throughout the County.

Calls for traffic or criminal investigations should be made to State or Local Police Departments as the Sheriff's Office does not provide patrol coverage at this time.

Regulation and Oversight

Sheriff is elected every four years by the Voters and is directly responsible to the electorate.

Additional Information

Sheriff and Deputy Sheriffs are fully trained law enforcement personnel who assist, when requested, local or State police officers. The Sheriff also provides personnel to the Drug Task Force when requested for certain operations.
