Sheriff

The operation of the St. Clair County Jail is a Constitutional duty of the Sheriff as prescribed by the Michigan Constitution. As part of the general Jail operation, however, the Sheriff also performs a wide variety of law enforcement duties which will be described below.

The responsibilities of the Sheriff are many. In addition to maintaining the Jail and the care of the inmates, the Sheriff also provides police services to those unincorporated areas of the County, provides contractual police services to 4 townships, maintains a marine division that patrols over 110 miles of shore line, provides a centralized emergency 911 Dispatch Center, operates a Drug Task Force enforcement division, and will handle over 40,000 calls for police service this year.

The present Jail was built in 1954. There are 105 full-time law enforcement and civilian employees that work for the St. Clair County Sheriff's Office.
