Before you email Broadwater County Sheriff's Office: a quick checklist
Email works for reaching the Broadwater County Sheriff's Office, but it's not the right choice for urgent or sensitive matters. This quick checklist helps you decide when to email and when to pick up the phone.
The Broadwater County Sheriff's Office doesn't monitor email around the clock. Your message could sit unread for hours or longer. If you need a fast response, skip email and call instead.
For emergencies, call 911. For urgent non-emergency issues, call the Broadwater County Sheriff's Office at 406-266-3441 (available 24 hours). The office's contact page specifically directs people to call for anything time-sensitive.
Never send confidential or personal information through regular email. The Sheriff's Office warns that plain-text email isn't secure, and they can't guarantee your information stays private. This applies to Social Security numbers, driver's license or state ID numbers, bank or card numbers, and medical details.
By emailing the Broadwater County Sheriff's Office, you're agreeing that nothing in your message is confidential, sensitive, or personal. If that doesn't work for your situation, call instead and ask about a more secure way to share what you need to share.
