Sheriff's Office

The Sheriff, as set forth by the Tennessee State Constitution, is the highest ranking law enforcement officer in the county. The Sheriff’s Office works in partnership with all law enforcement agencies throughout Lawrence County, Tennessee.

County patrols, criminal interdiction, criminal investigations, operation of the county jail, and crime prevention programs are some of the services provided by the Lawrence County Sheriff's Office. Some of the towns within the county have their own police forces with Sheriff’s Deputies as a vital resource for each of these agencies. Deputies serve arrest warrants, patrol the streets and share responsibilities with these police agencies.

The Lawrence County Sheriff's Office is a full-service law enforcement agency and the pre-trial custodial keeper of those who are arrested for crimes. It is the mission of the Lawrence County Sheriff's Office to protect the lives and property of the citizens of Lawrence County Tennessee, to preserve the peace, to maintain a safe and secure jail and to prevent crime and disorder while constantly guarding personal liberties as prescribed by law. This must be done with honor and integrity, while conducting ourselves by the highest fiscal and ethical standards to maintain public confidence.
