Travis Hutchinson

Sheriff

The mission statement for all members of the Wayne County Sheriff’s Office is to be responsive to and protect the constitutional rights of each member of the community we serve by affirmatively promoting a climate of safety and security among all persons within our jurisdiction.

The success of our mission will be realized by constantly working to achieve excellence in providing efficient and effective services to our community in a professional manner and by encouraging the active participation of our community in those efforts.

We accept this responsibility for the achievement of this mission and publicly register our commitment to it and to the concept of providing quality service.

The Wayne County Sheriff’s Office operates from offices in the Wayne County Justice Center, which was constructed in 1977. The Wayne County Justice Center includes a multi-jurisdictional communication center providing radio communications to local law enforcement agencies and fire departments, in addition to specialized services for the hearing impaired community, National Weather Service and Disaster Services Agency.

In August 1989, Wayne County became an enhanced 911 community to better serve its citizens. Every division of the Sheriff’s Office is staffed 24 hours a day.
