A Message from the
Sheriff
Welcome to the Washington County Sheriff's Office
Website. Please take a look at who we are and what we do to protect and
serve the citizens of Washington County.
The citizens of the county in which the Sheriff serves elect sheriffs
for four-year terms. The Sheriff is considered the chief law enforcement
officer of a county. Thanks to the citizens of Washington County, I
began serving as Sheriff on December 2, 2014. While I am in office we will do our best to
serve our citizens and the community with integrity, respect and
honesty. This department is made up of the Sheriff, deputies, detention
officers, telecommunication operators, and civilians.
The Washington County Sheriff's Office is charged with enforcing the
law, investigating crimes and securing the custody and control of
arrested persons, serving the court system through the civil and
criminal process and courtroom security.
Washington County is 322 square miles and has a population of 13,228
citizens. Washington County Sheriff's Office has jurisdiction in the
towns of Washington County. Plymouth is the county seat of Washington
County. Other towns in Washington County include Roper and Creswell.
The men and women of this office will continue to be prepared to meet
the needs of the citizens of Washington County.

Sheriff of Washington County, NC
