Sheriff's Department

Today, the Sheriff’s responsibilities cover a range of public safety functions. Sheriffs provide all law enforcement services, including investigated crimes, pursuing offenders, and making arrests.

Sheriffs provide security in local courthouses, serve legal papers throughout their jurisdictions, summon jurors and witnesses, and execute upon court judgements.

Sheriffs are assisted in their duties by deputy sheriffs appointed by the Sheriff.
