We will handle non-criminal calls with equal diligence and respect. All services must be provided in a timely manner, using all the resources we have available.

This Office will cooperate with every other law enforcement agency, fire department, emergency services, and political entity, to ensure peace and harmony throughout the county and beyond.

This Office will serve the courts with diligence by serving summons, subpoenas, and court orders timely and respectfully to everyone so ordered. This Office will also provide courtroom security to judges, jurors, witnesses, attorneys, clerks, and defendants or anyone having reason to appear.

This Office will be responsible for the care and maintenance of all prisoners in our custody, never violating their rights. We will listen to prisoner requests and provide essential items needed. We will treat all prisoners with the respect they deserve.

ANYTHING LESS THAN ALL WE CAN DO TO ACCOMPLISH OUR MISSION IS INADEQUATE.
