WHO WE ARE

The Holmes County Sheriff's Office is a full service law enforcement agency, an arm of the courts, and the custodial keeper of those who break the law. It is the mission of the Holmes County Sheriff's Office to protect the lives and property of the citizens of Holmes County, to preserve the peace, and to prevent crime and disorder while constantly guarding personal liberties as prescribed by law. This must be done with honor and integrity, conducting ourselves with the highest ethical standards to maintain public confidence.

The sheriff’s office employs approximately 56 people, and the men and women of our various divisions strive to uphold the great honor of serving the citizens of this county. Ohio law mandates that the office provides for law enforcement, court security, service of papers, jail operations, extradition process, and the transportation of prisoners. The sheriff’s office also maintains full police jurisdiction in all the municipalities, villages, and townships within Holmes County.
