Sheriff's Message

To meet our 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.

The Washington County Sheriff website topics, such as Agency Programs, Civil Process, Open Records and County Jail, provide citizens information they need to interact with the department; good explanations, contact names and information are provided. Other topics, such as Operations, 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
