Bell County Sheriff's Department

"The Bell County Sheriff's Department" is a diversified, progressive law enforcement agency with many varied responsibilities, including; patrol, investigations, civil/criminal process, court security, and jail management. The role of the sheriff has evolved over the years from one of a roving, gun toting lawman leading a posse, to that of a high-tech, computer equipped business manager who spends more time reading law books than wanted posters. Yet, many of the longtime traditions of the office are still prevalent and The Sheriff is still looked upon by the local citizenry as their personal law enforcement representative..
