Haskell County Sheriff's Office

Voters in Haskell County, Texas, elect their sheriff under Article V, Section 23 of the Texas Constitution, and the sheriff answers directly to them as an independent constitutional officer. The Haskell County Sheriff's Office is charged with keeping the peace, enforcing state law and protecting residents and their property, and it focuses much of its patrol work on the unincorporated parts of the county outside city limits. Deputies investigate crimes, respond to emergencies, carry out arrest warrants and deliver civil papers and criminal process from the courts. The sheriff is also the keeper of the county jail, as set out in Local Government Code Section 351.041, so the office manages the Haskell County Jail and must hold people in safe and secure custody that meets state and federal requirements. Public safety work extends to partnerships, and the office works with city, state and federal law enforcement, emergency crews, county leaders and local organizations on crime prevention and emergency planning. It frames its service around integrity, professionalism and accountability to county residents. The sheriff can be reached by phone or email through the Haskell County government website, where the office's contact details appear.
