Whether you seek specific information or have just stopped by to browse, we invite you to explore our site and learn more about our agency’s many responsibilities and duties.

The Sheriff is a constitutional officer and the chief law enforcement officer in the County. The Sheriff is responsible for keeping the peace within Barron County.

The Office of Sheriff is truly a broad based organization. There are several statutory responsibilities of a Sheriff that encompass a wide range of services. The Patrol and Jail Operations are the two most commonly associated with any Sheriff’s Office.
