Snohomish County Sheriff's Office

What Snohomish County Sheriff's Office does

The Snohomish County Sheriff's Office is the primary county-level law enforcement agency serving Snohomish County, Washington, operating under Snohomish County Government with statutory authority over unincorporated areas and contract cities. The agency employs 295 personnel across patrol, criminal investigations, corrections/jail operations, search and rescue, and specialized units including the Snohomish Regional Drug Task Force (SRDTF) and SMART Investigations. Sheriff Susanna Johnson leads the organization under a strategic agenda emphasizing Public Safety, Employee Investment, Trust & Transparency, and Organizational Resiliency.

The service portfolio spans core law enforcement (emergency 911 response, non-emergency dispatch, patrol, criminal investigations), corrections (inmate detention, medical services, commissary, visitation, PREA-compliant jail management), and community-facing programs (Explorer Programs, National Night Out, Community Academy, Crime Prevention initiatives). Digital service channels include online crime reporting, anonymous tip submission, jail register lookup, registered sex offender registry, and a public community crime map. Technology infrastructure includes a county-wide deployment of Flock Safety automated license plate reader cameras with publicly accessible transparency data.

The operating model is government-funded: the agency is financed through Snohomish County tax appropriations rather than commercial revenue, with limited fee-based services (concealed pistol licenses, fingerprinting, clearance letters, court document service). Distribution is direct to residents via headquarters in Everett, multiple precincts, and partnerships with contract cities and adjacent police agencies. The agency holds federal PREA certification for jail operations and maintains partnerships with the Washington Association of Sheriffs and the SRDTF multi-agency coalition.
