The Lawrence County Sheriff's Office doesn't monitor email 24/7. If your situation is time-sensitive, skip email entirely. Call 911 when appropriate, or call the office directly so your message gets urgent attention. Their contact page also warns that plain-text (non-encrypted) email isn't secure. Don't send confidential, sensitive, or personal information this way. The confidentiality of what you send simply can't be guaranteed.

Note: For urgent matters, call 911 or contact the office by phone. Don't send sensitive personal information through plain-text email.

Steps-to-follow

  • For urgent situations, call 911 (as applicable) or call the Sheriff’s Office by phone instead of emailing.
  • Do not send confidential, sensitive, or personal information through plain (non-encrypted) email.
  • Ask the office what response time you should expect if you do use email, since the account is not monitored 24/7.

Before reaching out, confirm a few practical details with the Sheriff's Office. Ask when their email is checked and which phone option works best for urgent issues. You should also ask if there's a secure or encrypted way to share sensitive information. Their contact page specifically warns against using plain-text email for anything confidential or personal, so find out what method they prefer instead.

Reminder: Don't use plain-text email for sensitive information. Call the office to confirm the safest way to provide it.
