Gilchrist County Sheriff's Office

Dear Fellow Gilchrist County Citizens,

My commitment to our community will be to provide the highest level of service by the Sheriff's Office as possible. My mission statement is simple: Safety and Security for All Citizens. Exceptional law enforcement is about understanding difficult situations, working for strong community relationships and ensuring the safety of our citizens which will make our county an even safer and enjoyable place to live, work and raise your family. I assure you that I believe in important values including acting with integrity and demonstrating respect.

I have dedicated many years of my life to looking out for people's safety and that is why I understand that being Sheriff is about protecting the people, and being a leader is about representing the people that the Gilchrist County Sheriff's Office serves.

I have been blessed with the opportunity to have served in law enforcement for more than 20 years. My law enforcement career has been very rewarding and I'm even more excited about continuing to serve you as your Sheriff in the future. My experience on the front lines has provided me with a deep knowledge of all aspects of law enforcement. My career has also included management and leadership roles that have provided me with a profound sense of purpose and the desire to develop an excellent and efficient Sheriff's Office for the citizens of Gilchrist County.

I would urge each of you to take an active role in your community and in doing so help us serve you better. I look forward to hearing from you in the future.

Sheriff Daniel Slaughter
