How is contracting different than having our own police department?
With contracting you do not have a local police chief although deputies often work long-term within the respective contract communities. The Sheriff's Administration provides the supervisory capacity that normally is the responsibility of the police chief. We feel this can offer an advantage by allowing for a uniformity of policies, procedures, training and equipping of personnel. This reduces overhead and makes contracting more cost effective. The resources of a larger department also offers more flexibility with personnel issues. Contract cities are encouraged to form local police commissions to work with the Sheriff's office on local law enforcement issues.

How can I contact a deputy who handled my complaint?
To contact the deputy who handled your complaint, call one of the non-emergency telephone numbers for the Sheriff's Office. Monday - Friday between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. call 763-682-7622. On weekends or holidays and weekdays after 4:30 p.m. until 8 a.m. call 763-682-1162. The message will be given to the deputy and they will get back to you.
