Mission Statement:
The Mission of the Kent County
Sheriff's Office is to maintain social order and
provide professional law enforcement services to
citizens in the community, within prescribed
ethical, budgetary, and constitutional constraints.
This Office strives to enforce the law and maintain
order in a fair and impartial manner, recognizing
the need for justice, and consistent appearance of
justice. The Sheriff recognizes that no law
enforcement agency can operate at its maximum
potential without supportive input from the citizens
it serves. This Department actively solicits and
encourages the cooperation of all citizens to reduce
and limit the opportunities for crime, and to assist
in bringing to justice those who break the law.
The Kent County Sheriff's Office is
currently authorized three full time commissioned
officers, including the Sheriff. We also utilize
3 reserve deputies who are fully licensed through
the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement Officers
Standards and Education and perform the same tasks
as our full time deputies.
Our communications center is staffed
with 7 employees whose job include answering 911,
and dispatching deputies to calls for service.
Communication Officers also dispatch for the Texas
Department of Public Safety, Texas Department of
Wildlife - Game Wardens, Kent County Volunteer Fire
Department and the Kent County Volunteer EMS. |
