our department is most appreciated. As you visit our site we encourage you to provide us with any
comments and or suggestions. This will allow us the opportunity to exchange information with you.
First, let me say it is my genuine privilege to serve you as the 27th Sheriff of Garland County.
I am exceptionally proud of the deputies and support staff who make our Sheriff's Department one
of the most professional departments in the state. Their hard work, initiative and dedication to
the citizens of Garland County should not go unmentioned.
Our mission is to protect and enhance the quality of life in our community by enforcing the law,
preserving the peace, preventing crime, and providing educational information while still protecting
the constitutional rights of those we serve.
Your Sheriff's Department is a full service department with approximately 122 employees. We operate
and maintain two separate detention facilities, patrol the county roadways and area lakes, investigate
crimes and provide court security.
The department has a tactical response team, with 15 members, 9 of which are
certified open water divers. The department also has a mounted patrol with approximately 20 members
who volunteer their time, horses and equipment for events such as the county fair, parades and
searching for missing persons.
The Sheriff's department actively promotes programs aimed at crime prevention, drug education,
senior citizens safety and other related activities which encourage a positive impact on the community.
Again thank you for your interest and your support. If you have any questions or comments please
