Washington County Sheriff's Office - Utah

Washington County Sheriff's Office - Utah We respect our citizens by serving all people fairly and equally. Washington County, Utah is about two hours north of Las Vegas on Interstate-15.

Our Mission:

To provide the highest quality law enforcement services to the citizens of Washington County by relentlessly pursuing the criminal element within our community . The county seat is the City of St. George and it sits at an elevation of about 2,500 feet. It is the gateway to several of America’s finest national parks including: Zion, Bryce Canyon, and the North Rim of the Grand Canyon.

In fact, the majority of Zion National Park is located within Washington County. With a relatively low crime rate, Washington County has been recognized as one of Utah’s safest counties to live in.

This week is National Police Week. A week set aside to honor law enforcement officers for their service, sacrifice, and dedication. This culminates on the Friday with a candlelight vigil in Washington DC for all the fallen law enforcement officers who have laid down their lives in the line of duty. We have a strong relationship with the other agencies in Southern Utah, and were able to take part in the candlelight vigil put on by the St George Police Department on Wednesday night to remember the fallen officers in Utah, including Officer J. Adam Ashworth from the St George Police Department (end of watch 07/22/2021). Also in attendance were representatives from the Hurricane Police Department, Santa Clara Ivins Police Department, Utah Highway Patrol, Utah Tech Police Department, and the Utah Tech Police Academy cadets. We appreciate the opportunity to participate in this solemn event.

Hey everyone, check the first use of the Grappler Police Bumper by Stock Enterprises, LLC in Utah by the Washington County Sheriff's Office. A report came in that a Ford Expedition was reported stolen out of Las Vegas, and was last seen Northbound on I-15 crossing the Nevada/Arizona border. Our deputies were able to set up at the Utah state line and wait for it to come to us. Once confirming the vehicle was listed as stolen, a Grappler was utilized to stop the vehicle before it could have a chance to run. The driver was arrested and taken to the Washington County Sheriff's Office bed and breakfast. This new equipment allows us to stop vehicles in situations like this and keep the public safe.
