Sheriff Jeffrey D. Paden
Consistently and with uniformity, we strive to maintain social order and provide professional law enforcement services to citizens in the community, within prescribed ethical, budgetary, and constitutional constraints. We also strive to enforce the law and maintain order in a fair and impartial manner, recognizing the need for justice, and the consistent appearance of justice. The Sheriff recognizes that no law enforcement agency can operate at its maximum potential without supportive input from the citizens it serves. We actively solicit and encourage the cooperation of all citizens to reduce the limit and opportunities for crime and to assist in bringing to justice those that break the law.
It is the mission statement of the Guernsey County Sheriff’s Office to enforce the laws of the State of Ohio, to deter offenses against the public in the most efficient and cost effective manner.
