Organization
The current sheriff is Peter H. Doughtery. His Chief Executive is Jesse Jones, also a retired veteran of the Jefferson County Sheriff's Department.
The agency consists of 20 sworn officers (including the sheriff) and four civilian aides. The JCSD is divided into two sections: Patrol and Court Services. The patrol section provides full-service 9-1-1 law enforcement response. The court services section provides security for the Jefferson County courthouse, service of all court-ordered writs, and prisoner detention and transportation.

Famous quotes containing the word organization:
“It is essential that there should be organization of labor. This is an era of organization. Capital organizes and therefore labor must organize.”
—Theodore Roosevelt (1858–1919)
“I would wish that the women of our country could embrace ... [the responsibilities] of citizenship as peculiarly their own. If they could apply their higher sense of service and responsibility, their freshness of enthusiasm, their capacity for organization to this problem, it would become, as it should become, an issue of profound patriotism. The whole plane of political life would be lifted.”
—Herbert Hoover (1874–1964)
“When a man’s partner’s killed, he’s supposed to do something about it. It doesn’t make any difference what you thought of him, he was your partner and you’re supposed to do something about it. As it happens, we’re in the detective business; well, when one of your organization gets killed, it’s, it’s bad business to let the killer get away with it. Bad all around. Bad for every detective everywhere.”
—John Huston (1906–1987)
