Sheriff

The Salt Lake County Sheriff's Office operates two correctional facilities; the Salt Lake County Metro Jail and the Oxbow Jail Facility. Both jails are highly efficient, designed to operate at low costs with an abundance of programs that minimize overcrowding issues while creating an approach that reduces recidivism.

In addition to our Corrections Bureau, Public Safety Bureau and Law Enforcement Bureau; the Sheriff's Office is also home to Search and Rescue, the Mounted Posse, Human Resources and Fiscal Divisions. With over 1,100 employees and volunteers, the Salt Lake County Sheriff's Office takes pride in its role as a leader in public safety and community service.
