Message from the Sheriff
Dear Citizens & Visitors of Hampshire County:

I want to start by telling you how honored I am to have the opportunity to
serve as your Sheriff and work in the great county in which I was born and
raised.

The Sheriff's Office is made up of dedicated, professional, hard working, and
team oriented members.  Our office consists of eight Patrol Deputies, one
Criminal Investigator, one Prevention Resource Officer, one D.A.R.E. Officer,
a Civil Process Server, a Bailiff / Home Incarceration Officer, and one
secretary.  Two of our patrol deputies are K-9 handlers.

We are very proactive in drug & DUI enforcement.  We realize that nearly all
crimes begin with the use of drugs and/or abuse of alcohol.

We greatly appreciate all of the support we receive from the community.  We
know and understand that community interaction is very important in order
for us to successfully carry out our duties.  We work to be very community
oriented and to be involved with our youth.

Everyone at the Sheriff's Office takes pride in serving Hampshire County,
and we always put forth our best effort to serve you in the most efficient way.  
If you are need of law enforcement assistance, please give us a call.

Sincerely,

Nathan J. Sions, Sheriff
