About
us
Our culture
The culture reflects that. People take the work seriously and look out for each other. Supervisors stay connected. The bar is high, but so is the support.
Serving
Our Community
We don’t just show up when something goes wrong. We build relationships with schools, businesses, and people in our community. Because real public safety doesn’t happen in a vacuum, it happens when people know each other and know they’re heard.
We lead with calm, de-escalate when we can, and leave every scene better than we found it.
The
Main Idea
Doing our best
We follow through, for the community and for each other.
Doing the right thing
We think beyond the moment, and lead with what builds trust.
Treating others the way we’d want to be treated
Respect isn’t earned, it’s given first.

Our History
We’ve grown from a frontier post to a modern urban sheriff’s office serving more than 260,000 people. Today, we operate a 572-bed jail, support specialized teams, and provide a wide range of services. Sheriff Caprice Massey, who began her career in the jail, now serves as our 33rd sheriff and as Washington County’s first female sheriff.
We’ve stayed ahead by investing in training, tools, and leadership, and by bringing in people with the mindset to match.
We welcome career-switchers, returners, and anyone with steady values and real-life experience. If you’ve led a team, raised a family, or worked through high-pressure situations, we want to hear from you.
our people
The team has your back on calls, in court, at 3 a.m, or when something doesn’t sit right. We check in. We speak up. We run toward what’s hard and help each other through it.
