Dubois County Sheriff's Office

What Dubois County Sheriff's Office does

Dubois County Sheriff's Office is an elected county law enforcement agency serving Dubois County, Indiana, headquartered at 255 Brucke Strasse, Jasper, IN 47547. The office provides statutory public safety services to county residents — including 24/7 patrol, investigations, emergency response, inmate detention at the Dubois County Security Center, court security, civil process service, sex and violent offender registry access, and road/weather condition information. It serves the incorporated communities of Jasper, Huntingburg, and Ferdinand, and coordinates with the Jasper, Huntingburg, and Ferdinand Police Departments, Indiana State Police, and the FBI Indianapolis field office for joint enforcement activity.

The agency's service portfolio spans thirteen documented public-facing products: inmate visitation, telephone, mail, money, and commissary-item services; firearm permit and license processing (hunting, target, personal protection, lifetime); accident and police report requests; tax warrant information and payment; sheriff sales and foreclosures; road and weather condition links; the sex and violent offender registry; VIN and watercraft inspections; and a current inmate list. Core technology is third-party: JailTracker provides the inmate management system and website hosting; Securus Technologies operates inmate telephone services; BuyCrash handles online accident report distribution; Appriss powers the VINE victim notification service; and iCrimeWatch hosts the state sex offender registry. No proprietary technology is developed in-house.

Funding derives primarily from county tax revenues, supplemented by modest user fees and commissions. Tax-funded public safety services form the base revenue stream. Fee-bearing transactions include accident reports ($5 by mail, plus per-photo and CD fees), firearm permits (local fees of $10-$50 layered onto state fees), VIN/watercraft inspections ($5 each), and tax warrant processing for the Indiana Department of Revenue. Usage-based commission revenue is earned at $0.21 per minute on in-state inmate telephone calls, with international rates starting at $1.00/minute. Pricing models are predominantly unit-based and pay-as-you-go, with multi-year contract pricing on firearm licenses. Marketing is minimal — a website and a Facebook page — with distribution through one physical office and online portals.
