Mission, Values, and Vision

The Sheriff's Office Mission, Values and Vision statements were developed in 2001 as part of the strategic planning process for the department. A team of Sheriff's department staff representing all facets of the agency worked together to compile these statements. We take very seriously our promise to be "A premiere criminal justice agency serving our community with honor and integrity." View our statements of mission, values, and vision
