In Kentucky, the sheriff is responsible for the service of civil and criminal process, the service of warrants and the important task of security throughout our court systems. This department assures the citizens that the competency of our deputies continues as we have ongoing training and qualification resulting in certification each year.

As representatives and citizens of this community, we make every effort to create a harmonious, working relationship with our sister law enforcement agencies and to assist in maintaining a cohesive contract with our community while implementing a safe and secure environment.

Vital to the prosperity and continuing growth of our county, the sheriff has the duty of collecting and the distribution of county taxes. As each year passes, we enhance our technology and procedure in these collections attempting to make the process as comfortable and convenient as possible.

Important Notice: WE HAVE MOVED! As of Monday April 19th we are now located at
1098 Monmouth Street Room 216
Newport, KY 41071
