The department is comprised of approximately 25 officers.  The Sheriff, a Chief Deputy, 2 captains, 2 sergeants, and 21 deputies. The Sheriffs Department was created when the Crittenden Police Department, the Dry Ridge Police Department and the Grant County Sheriffs Department merged and consolidated resources in July of  2000.  This type of merger was the first of it's kind in the Commonwealth of Kentucky.

It is the mission of the Grant County Sheriffs Department to develop a highly trained, efficient, and professional law enforcement office in order to provide outstanding service to the citizens of Grant County, the Commonwealth of Kentucky, and our Country.

This site is designed to provide as much information as possible and to provide a communication link between law enforcement and our community.

Please Support the
Kentucky Law Enforcement Memorial Fund
The intent of this project is to recognize all Kentucky law enforcement officers killed in the
line of duty with honor and dignity at one central location. Therefore, the Foundation believes
it is appropriate to establish a law enforcement memorial at the Department of Criminal
Justice Training facility. This memorial will be a fitting tribute to all Kentucky law
enforcement officers and a visible part of the law enforcement training complex
located on the grounds of Eastern Kentucky University.
