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.
