How to send messages, photos, and packages
Need to reach someone at Broadwater County? Start with the Sheriff's Office contact guidance: their email isn't monitored 24/7, so call 911 or the office directly for urgent matters. Regular email isn't secure—don't send confidential or sensitive information this way. By emailing, you're agreeing your message isn't confidential under the site disclaimer. For non-emergencies, the Sheriff's Office has a 24-hour phone number: 406-266-3441. For inmate communication, Montana facilities often rely on third-party phone, tablet, and video vendors. You'll likely need to set up a vendor account, add prepaid funds, and expect calls or video sessions to be recorded and monitored. Occasional outages or restrictions happen.
