Welcome to our web site. One of the missions of the Wise County Sheriff's Office is to stay abreast of any and all technology that will better serve our citizens. The internet has proven to be essential for communications among law enforcement. I view it as a chance to communicate better with our citizens. Please pay special attention to those programs designed to solicit citizen input. Being from the "Old School" I feel that law enforcement was never intended to do or be all. To make a large impact on crime it takes the Sheriff's Office and all law abiding citizens working together to make a big impact. Remember "EVIL DOES GOOD WHEN GOOD DOES NOTHING". Our goal is to provide our citizens with as much information on crime trends as possible and provide avenues for you to supply us with information.

Our web site will provide you with this information plus many other links associated with public safety and Criminal Justice issues. You will be able to keep up with current events, court decisions and problems that impact our personnel. We believe that a better informed community will become a safer community.

We value your input and feedback - go to the Wise County S.O. Directory page for a listing of the key personnel and their E-Mail addresses.

Welcome and remember "SAFE AND SOUND."

Sincerely,
David Walker
Wise County Sheriff
