Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays

To all, 

As we spend time today fellowshipping with family and friends, I want to personally take this time to acknowledge my outstanding staff and thank them for their vital contribution to the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office and Jefferson County residents. I want to thank each and every one of our deputies and civilian staff for their hard work and encourage you to do the same when you see them.

Their hard work and dedication to our office and community is something we are all very thankful for - not just during the holiday season, but all year-round. I believe it is very important to show our appreciation to those who have been vital to success of our agency.

I would also like to acknowledge our community for their tremendous support and efforts to help make our county a safer place to live and raise a family. We truly value your input and assistance and are happy to know our website is an important information resource to so many of you.

When traveling during the holidays, please keep in mind that COVID-19 is still existent in the world and in our community. For more information on how to remain safe during your travels, read this CDC article: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/travelers/travel-during-covid19.html
