Serve and Protect
The mission of the Yavapai County Sheriff’s Office is to enhance the quality of life in the county by working cooperatively with the public to prevent crime, enforce the law, preserve the peace, and provide a safe environment for all.
For over 150 years, we have sought the next generation of men and women with the desire to serve and protect the people of our communities.
Through rigorous training programs, our fellow citizens can learn to become highly skilled and professional members of our agency. Our academies also offer recruits the chance to earn college credits upon the completion of their training, furthering their education while being paid to acquire the skills needed in their new profession.
Community service is a Police-Community partnership. By working together, we can reduce crime and enhance the quality of life.
