How to Send Money to Facility

Before you send money or share any payment details, know that the sheriff's office email account is not monitored 24/7. If something needs urgent attention, don't rely on email. Call 911 (if applicable) or contact the office directly. This matters because time-sensitive problems do come up: a deposit that didn't post when expected, a mistake you need corrected quickly. Email works fine for general questions, but it's not the right channel for anything urgent.

Steps to Follow

• ✓ If your message is urgent, call 911 (as applicable), or contact the office instead of emailing.
• ✓ Do not email sensitive details such as Social Security numbers, driver’s license or state ID numbers, bank account numbers, credit card numbers, debit card numbers, or medical information.
• ✓ If you need to provide sensitive information, use a safer channel than plain email by contacting the office directly.

Since the sheriff's office email isn't monitored around the clock, start by confirming the best way to handle time-sensitive money questions. Ask what they consider "urgent" and which number or process they want you to use, so you're not waiting on an inbox that may sit unchecked for hours. Also verify what methods they accept for sending money and what information they need from you. Do not email private financial details. The warning on the contact page is clear: plain email is not secure. It specifically calls out Social Security numbers, ID numbers, bank account numbers, credit and debit card numbers, and medical information. If you're planning ahead, ask the facility to spell out current options, any required identifiers, and where to find the most up-to-date instructions. Don't assume a method, vendor, fee, or processing time unless the facility confirms it directly.
