COVID-19 Update 5/19/2020
The Scott County Sheriff’s Office is actively trying to do our part to respond to the emerging public health threat. Like every industry, we are making adjustments to our procedures to serve a community respecting social distancing. Our staff is committed to serving the community and dedicated to providing exceptional services to our residents. We ask that you please be patient as some services may take longer than normal due to limited staffing levels.
We know that this is a significant inconvenience for many of our residents, and we’re actively researching viable remote or online options that could be used in place of in-person business transactions. We are taking these precautions out of an abundance of caution to minimize the risk of spreading illness. We recommend frequently checking this page for updates. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
