Welcome to the Shelby County Sheriff's Office

The Sheriff, as set forth by the Tennessee State Constitution, is the highest ranking law enforcement officer in the county. The Sheriff’s Office works in partnership with all law enforcement agencies throughout the 775 square miles of Shelby County, Tennessee.

Although various cities within the county have their own police forces, Sheriff’s Deputies are a vital resource for each of these agencies. Deputies serve arrest warrants, patrol the streets and share responsibilities with these police agencies through “Task Force Units.” As an example, the D.U.I. Unit has officers from the Sheriff’s Office and Germantown Police Departments.

Other Deputies serve on various Federal task forces regarding narcotics, retail theft, theft from transportation companies and internet crimes. Other law enforcement duties fulfilled by the Sheriff’s Office include serving court documents and providing courtroom security in the General Sessions, Criminal, Chancery, Circuit and Probate courts, and capturing fugitives.

Our Mission Statement

It is the mission of the Shelby County Sheriff's Office to protect the lives and property of the citizens of Shelby County Tennessee, to preserve the peace, to maintain a safe and secure jail and to prevent crime and disorder while constantly guarding personal liberties as prescribed by law. This must be done with honor and integrity, while conducting ourselves by the highest fiscal and ethical standards to maintain public confidence.
