Welcome to the Benton County Sheriff's Office

A Message from Sheriff Diana Simpson

Welcome to the the Benton County Sheriff's Office web site. In Oregon, the Sheriff is responsible for maintaining the peace within the county and is directly accountable to the people, as an elected official.

The job of managing such a diverse operation is a challenge. More...
