I would like to welcome the citizens of Polk County and others around the world to our website. We invite you to take a virtual tour of the Polk County Sheriff's Office.   The video below shows what your Sheriff's Office has been up to this past year. 

The mission of the Polk County Sheriff’s Office is to “Demonstrate leadership through honoring public trust and developing partnerships within the communities we serve by providing effective law enforcement services which we promote, preserve and deliver public safety and security."

We welcome your comments and suggestions.

Thank you for allowing us to serve you,

Sheriff Mark Garton
