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.
