Welcome

I take tremendous pride in serving as Sheriff of the great citizens of Washington County.  Now, more than ever, it is very important for the Sheriff’s Office and the community to work together in ensuring our safety and well-being.  The success of this Office depends upon the support and cooperation of our county’s citizens.  We rely upon your observations, as much as our own.  We encourage you to report suspicious happenings within your community.  My door is always open to each of you, and I ask you to work with our Office to ensure that we continue to live in a safe community.
