Kleberg County Sheriff's Office

Kleberg County Sheriff's Office patrols the unincorporated areas of Kleberg County, Texas, along with Ricardo and Riviera, guided by a mission of providing professional law enforcement with integrity and compassion. Patrol deputies answer calls for service, check on local schools and businesses, enforce traffic law on county and state roads and look for illegal materials or people being moved through the county, and residents leaving town can ask to be added to the out-of-town patrol list. The Criminal Investigation Division investigates crimes committed in those same unincorporated areas and communities. Dispatchers staff a 24-hour emergency line for rural calls and usually greet visitors when they arrive at the office, and the criminal records clerk handles background checks and open records requests on weekdays. The detention center in Kingsville books arrestees brought in by Kingsville police, TAMUK police, DPS, constables, TABC, a task force and sheriff's deputies, a process that begins with a pat-down search at the sally port. Its stated goals include protecting inmates from victimization, preserving due process and returning offenders to society no worse than they arrived. Sex offenders register by appointment, and residents can submit crime tips, check the inmate roster and review sheriff's sales.
