If you have a complaint about an officer, a department policy or how a situation was handled, please let us know in order that we can make an attempt to resolve the issue.

Any formal complaint against any person at the sheriff’s department will need to be lodged in person and in writing at the sheriff’s department at 2311 East Lufkin Avenue.
