The Sheriff is the chief law enforcement officer in the County, an elected official serving a four year term and part of the county’s system of justice. The Sheriff is charged with the duty to “keep and preserve the peace of his County, for which purpose he may call to his aid such persons or power of the County as is necessary.”
The Sheriff’s Office provides policing services to all the townships and the cities of Dumont, Tintah and Browns Valley. The office performs general patrol duties, investigations, boat and water safety enforcement, court security and civil process services. Our office is staffed with five full-time Deputies, and a Chief Administrative Deputy.
The new County Law Enforcement Center/Jail opened in July of 2007. The Jail houses up to eleven inmates and is manned by a complete 911 dispatch center.
It is staffed 24 hours a day, 365 days a year by a Jail Administrator, six full‑time, and four part‑time Communications / Corrections Officers.
The Traverse County Sheriff’s Office is committed to a professional level of Law Enforcement which will ensure the safety of our citizens, the prevention and investigation of criminal activity, and a cooperative working relationship with other Departments and Services.
Reminder: Get your permit before you burn. Burn Permits can be obtained at the Sheriff’s Office at any time.
