Who to Call at Johnson County Sheriff's Office (and when they're actually available)
Trying to reach the Johnson County Sheriff's Office? The fastest way to get help is calling the right line—especially after hours. Here's who handles emergencies, non-emergencies, jail questions, and complaints, plus when they're actually staffed.
Emergency: If you have an emergency, dial 911 immediately.
For urgent situations that aren't emergencies, call Dispatch at 817-556-6060 or 817-556-6061. This is your starting point when you need help now but it's not a 911 situation.
Calling outside normal business hours? Stick with Dispatch. The Dispatch and Patrol Division run 24/7/365 - nights, weekends, holidays, someone's always there.
Administration and Criminal Investigations (Admin/CID) keep regular office hours: Monday–Friday, 8:00 am to 5:00 pm. They're closed to the public evenings, weekends, and county holidays. Need to reach Administration or Detectives during staffed hours? Call 817-556-6058.
Got questions about the jail - especially visitation? Call the facility directly at 817-556-6000. I'd recommend confirming visitation times and rules before making the trip.
To reach Administration or Detectives, call 817-556-6058. That line is staffed Monday–Friday, 8:00 am–5:00 pm. After hours or on county holidays, you won't get through to Admin/CID.
