For more information, contact the Sheriff's Office.

2. What happens if you arrest someone based on my signed letter?: In most cases, deputies are able to resolve trespass complaints without arresting the involved subject. However, there are situations where the officer has no choice, but to cite or arrest an offender. In those instances, you will be expected to be available for any resulting court action. For any further questions, contact the Sheriff's Office.
