Wise County Sheriff's Office

Residents of Wise County, Texas who cannot safely make a voice call can text 911, a service offered through the North Central Texas Council of Governments regional 911 program with the sheriff's office and the Decatur and Bridgeport police departments. The sheriff's Communications Division takes all telephone, 911 and radio traffic for fire, medical and police calls across the county except in Bridgeport and Decatur, with several certified communications officers on duty at peak times. Through a partnership with LexisNexis Risk Solutions, the office publishes a Community Crime Map that syncs with its records system, shows recent incidents at block level, emails neighborhood watch reports to subscribers and accepts anonymous tips; Wise County Crime Stoppers offers another anonymous route. Deputies investigate crimes and present their findings to prosecutors, recommend preventive security measures and coordinate with the county's other public safety agencies. The Detention Division runs the county jail in Decatur, with inmate health services, a law library, bond information and visitation, and the office also covers civil process, writs and animal control.
