Community Relations

Strong relationships of mutual trust between the Franklin County Sheriff's Office and the communities we serve are critical to maintaining public safety and effective policing. The FCSO relies on the cooperation of community members to provide information about crime in their neighborhoods and to work with us to devise solutions to address crime and quality of life issues.

In order to achieve this goal we have a dedicated Community Relations unit comprised of eleven deputies and two supervisors who are in the community daily creating and maintaining relationships to aid in making Franklin County a great place to live, work and raise a family. This is accomplished through the many programs and classes we present which include:

• Project Lifesaver
• CRASE- Civilian Response to Active Shooter Events
• RAD- Rape Aggression Defense System
• Citizens Academy
• Operation Street Smart- Youth Education
• Community Events
• Child ID's
• SALT- Seniors and Law Enforcement Together
• Home Security Assessments 
• Business Security Assessments 
• School Resource Officers
• Therapy Dog Program
