The mission of Washington County Sheriff’s Office Community Engagement is to enhance public safety by connecting law enforcement with citizens in our communities.

S.A.L.T.
Seniors and Law Enforcement Together

Sheriff Warden started this unique program to assist seniors and their families with monthly voluntary home visits from members of the WCSO Reserve Unit. If you know someone interested in this program or have questions,  please email info@wcso84.us and add “SALT” to the subject line.

RU-OK
This is an automatic system that calls senior citizens who have signed up for RU-OK alerts. The Sheriff’s Office dispatch then sends a deputy to the residence if the senior doesn’t respond.

If you or a loved one is interested in signing up for RU-OK, please send an email to info@wcso84.us and add “RU-OK” in subject line.

Project Lifesaver

Project Lifesaver is a 501 (C)(3) community-based, public safety, non-profit organization that provides law enforcement, fire/rescue, and caregivers with a program designed to protect and, when necessary, quickly locate individuals with cognitive disorders who are prone to the life-threatening behavior of wandering.

If you or a loved one is interested in signing up for Project Lifesaver, please email us at info@wcso84.us
Add “project lifesaver” in the subject line.

Community Watch Programs

(coming in 2025)

Cops 4 Kids

In December of each year, the Sheriff’s Office participates in “Cops 4 Kids”. This special event is where WCSO personnel take children shopping for clothing and toys. The children who are selected have experienced some traumatic event in their life during that year. Funding for this event comes from the Fraternal Order of Police Gold Star Lodge 188.

SRO

School Resource Officers are sworn law enforcement officers responsible for school safety and crime prevention. Deputies with the Sheriff’s Office are located at numerous schools in Washington County.
