About Crook County Sheriff's Office

The Crook County Sheriff's Office covers almost 3,000 square miles of central Oregon, 2,991 by the patrol division's count, with about 25,500 residents and Prineville as the county seat. Deputies cover 472 miles of county roads and roughly 275 miles of state highway, and the office is based in the Crook County Justice Center on Northwest 2nd Street in Prineville.

Patrol is lean: 14 deputies and four sergeants, under a patrol lieutenant, handle more than 13,000 incidents a year, with one or two deputies and a sergeant on each shift. That means you'll do your own investigations, from interviewing witnesses and processing scenes to serving warrants and testifying, and after training a patrol deputy can also serve as a deputy medical examiner or sexual abuse investigator. Deputies work closely with Prineville Police, Oregon State Police, the Forest Service, the Bureau of Land Management and the Bureau of Reclamation.

The office also runs the county jail, parole and probation, civil, courthouse security, a drug detection K-9, marine and Bureau of Reclamation lake patrol, all-terrain vehicle patrol, emergency management, search and rescue, and a reserve deputy program. New deputies must get basic certification from the Oregon Department of Public Safety Standards and Training within 12 months of hire. The county pays the full 6% employee share of Oregon Public Employees Retirement System contributions, so nothing comes out of your check for retirement.
