The mission of the Washington County Sheriff’s Office is to work in partnership with the community to provide quality public safety services in a reasonable manner through innovation, leadership, and the cooperation of dedicated people.

Washington County Sheriff's Office deputies spend their days protecting the lives and property of citizens, preventing crime, apprehending criminals, and enforcing laws and ordinances. With the added advantage of take-home squad cars, (see department policy) our deputies are ready to patrol the streets, investigate crimes, and work to strengthen community ties from the moment they put their uniforms on.
A variety of career-enhancing assignments await once proficiency in general patrol is achieved, including:
• General and Specialized Investigations
• Water, Parks, and Trails Unit
• Court Security
• Civil Process
• School Resource Officer
• Special Enforcement teams
• K9 and more
