MARION COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE TEMPORARY CHANGES TO OPERATIONS

Marion Co. Sheriff's Office

The Marion County Sheriff’s Office is actively collaborating with public health professionals and public safety partners to ensure we are prepared to maintain public safety services for Marion County.  

As a precaution to protect our staff and ensure we continue to fulfill our core function of keeping our community safe, our team will be adapting our services to focus on essential public safety needs. 

Applying the best practices and recommendations related to reducing the spread of COVID-19, the Sheriff’s Office will be postponing community meetings, attendance at community events, volunteer programs at the jail, citizen ride-a-longs, and tours of Sheriff’s Office facilities effective immediately.  Our team at the Sheriff’s Office appreciate the strong connections we have with our community members and will work to resume these activities at our earliest opportunity. 

Internally the women and men from the Sheriff’s Office have taken steps to maintain the health and well-being of our staff and the adults in our custody.  We will continue with these efforts and will follow the guidance from our public health professionals to make informed decisions as we maintain services in Marion County.  We encourage our community members to ensure they are getting up-to-date information about COVID-19 from Marion County Health & Human Services at: https://www.co.marion.or.us/HLT/Pages/COVID-19.aspx.

We take pride in our ability to maintain key public safety services to Marion County throughout this evolving situation.
