The Harris County Sheriff's Office is the largest sheriff's office in Texas and the third largest in the United States. Our more than 4,000 employees are committed to the safety of the nearly 4 million residents who call Harris County home.
Harris County is a burgeoning and vast metropolitan area - home to one of the most culturally rich cities in the nation. Our size and diversity present constant challenges to our men and women of law enforcement, committed to creating and maintaining a secure community. That is why a partnership between our organization and you, the residents of Harris County, is critical in the fight against crime. Help us help you.
We hope you will find our resources useful. We are honored to protect and serve you.
