Radford City Sheriff's Office

Radford City Sheriff's Office serves the City of Radford in Southwest Virginia as a criminal justice agency built around three core duties. Deputies secure the city's courts and their support facilities, serve the legal papers those courts issue, and transport people in custody, both inmates of local correctional facilities and individuals held under mental health orders. Voters choose the sheriff, a constitutional officer, for four years at a time; Va. Const. art. VII, sec. 4 creates the post in each Virginia county and city. The office provides jury information for residents summoned to serve, along with a staff directory, annual reports and job postings for anyone considering a deputy career. Community work is a stated priority of the office. When schedules allow, deputies watch over afternoon dismissal at the Belle Heth and McHarg elementary campuses, and the office runs a kids summer camp with registration forms posted online. Its programs aim to make the city a more welcoming home for residents and local businesses.
