Mission of the
Lake County Sheriff's Office 
Sheriff Daniel A. Dunlap

"We are guardians of society's laws
who respond to the public needs in a caring, courteous and professional manner
to ensure the highest quality of life for all people."

  
    In the Spring of 1993, upon taking Office, Sheriff Dunlap gathered together the entire supervision staff at the Lake County Sheriff's Office to develop a Mission Statement that reflected the goals and philosophies which shape our  direction and service to Lake County.  The following is the result of that collaborative effort.
