The Washington County Sheriff Website offers information to our community on Jail, Juvenile Detention, civil process and more. Our HOT TOPICS will be a good place to find out about our Office.
FREE Child ID Event: Saturday, June 8, 10 a.m.-1 p.m. Cabela's. Bring your child & get an ID card with info & fingerprints.

Welcome to the website for the Washington County Sheriff in West Bend, Wisconsin. The Sheriff’s Office operates the County Jail, attends to the Circuit Court, operates a 911 Dispatch Center and provides law enforcement programs throughout the county. To meet this mission, communication with the public is very important. This website is intended to improve public access to department resources and inform the public on department operations.
Topics such as Agency Programs, Civil Process, Open Records and County Jail provide information citizens need to interact with the department. Good explanations, contact names and information are provided. Other topics such as Communications, Patrol Division and Special Units are designed to be informative so citizens can learn about the resources available in their community.
In the future, our intent is to keep working toward a website that is even more interactive and useful for citizens who have business with the Sheriff’s Office.
