Welcome to the Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office website. We are committed to delivering professional public safety services to every member of our community, guided by dignity, respect, and humility. Effective policing relies on the support of our community, which is earned through the integrity of our words and actions. Through accountability and partnerships, we grow stronger together to address the complex needs of our county.
In Snohomish County, we serve over 800,000 residents – from city to county – and perform a wide variety of jobs. From deterring crime, conducting criminal investigations, and running one of the largest jails in Washington state, we are proud to serve the residents of beautiful Snohomish County and invite you to join us!
Snohomish County is a great place to work, live and play. Nestled between the Puget Sound and the rugged Cascade Mountains, Snohomish County is north of Seattle and south of Vancouver, BC. A short ferry ride away from the San Juan Islands or Olympic Peninsula, we are surrounded by some of the most spectacular scenery in the United States. Forest and mountain wildlife sanctuaries, unlimited opportunities for outdoor fun, including fishing, hunting, skiing, hiking and more.
Snohomish County Sheriff Susanna Johnson, who was sworn in as Snohomish County’s 33rd Sheriff on January 2, 2024, leads our office with a deep dedication to service. She began her career with the Sheriff’s Office in 1990 as a patrol deputy and rose through the ranks over a distinguished three-decade career. Her extensive experience and commitment continue to guide our mission to safeguard and serve our community with integrity and respect.
