The Christian County Sheriff’s Office was formed on March 1st 1797 with the inception of the County Government. Initially the elected Sheriff was called the “High Sheriff”, the term used in England at that time. The Sheriff’s Office has evolved continuously over the years as the needs of Christian County have changed.
Currently, we are full service, 24/7 department that responds and investigates anything from accidents and simple assaults to homicides. Our jurisdiction covers an area of 724 square miles, which include the towns of Pembroke, Fairview, Lacy, Crofton, and Gracey, to name a few. In 2019, the Christian County Sheriff’s Office responded to 33,601 calls for service. Our department is tasked with the additional responsibility of handling the payment of all property taxes for Christian County, as well as the execution of criminal and civil service.
We are also a law enforcement agency that believes in strong community relationships.

Our Deputies and staff participate in a number of community activities including career fairs, community meetings, community festivals and more recently, eating lunch with our elementary school students in a program we call the “Law Enforcement Lunch Mob”. This gives us a chance to interact with our students in a positive way, and build strong relationships with the youth in our community.
We believe a law enforcement agency should embed itself into the community it protects, to not only enforce the law but serve the people that we interact with everyday. This includes making a positive impact on the children and families in Christian County through education and involvement. Sheriff DeArmond wants to ensure that the Christian County Sheriff’s Office staff leave a positive impact in the various lives of those we serve and protect.
