A Message from the Sheriff….
I would like to welcome you to the
Jefferson County Sheriff's Office home page. We
have made available to you a wealth of information about our agency. Hopefully, you can use this information in order
to educate yourself about the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office.
We are a very diverse county, both geographically and by population. To the North, we adjoin St. Louis County and are comparable to any large metropolitan area. While on the east side of the county, we follow the Mississippi River with large subdivisions and communities enjoying scenic views overlooking its banks. To the south and west, we neighbor Ste. Genevieve County, St. Francois County, Washington County, and Franklin County where a rural, sparsely populated farm community atmosphere still exists. It would not be unusual for us to handle a bank robbery to the north and a cattle rustling charge in the south of our county all in the same day.
The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office main facility is located at 510 First Street in Hillsboro. Built in 1991, the facility includes a 110-bed correction facility that has already been outgrown. Currently, we are in the process of adding an additional 150 beds to the main facility and building a new administration center just across our parking lot.
Currently, we have three zone offices in the county with the North Zone Office located in the Dillon Shopping Plaza in High Ridge, the East Zone Office at the former maintenance facility building at the Windsor School District in Imperial, and the South Zone operating out of Jefferson College just north of Hillsboro. The Jefferson County Sheriff's Office employs 162 sworn officers and 76 civilian employees. We provide a full service correctional facility to the citizens of our county, complete all civil process required by any of the courts, provide bailiffs to each of the 13 different court rooms, as well as normal law enforcement services to the community.
As you browse our website, you can find information on all the statute requirements of our agency and also all the programs we offer our citizens. Please feel free to offer any suggestions or ask any questions you may have. Once again, let me welcome you to our website. I hope you find it helpful and educational to you and your family or friends.
