We strive to be the absolute best in law enforcement, recruiting the most well-rounded and strategically minded deputies. We believe in and support the individuals who work for the Sheriff’s Office and continue to pursue the most modern equipment, tactics, and training for our deputies.

Service, compassion, and respect for all people must be the cornerstone of our culture. To that end, we strive to filter our actions through our core values: Do your best Do the right thing Treat others the way you want to be treated Located halfway between the ocean and Mt Hood in the fertile Tualatin Valley just outside the City of Portland, Washington County is the most ethnically diverse county Oregon and the second most populated.
