A
Message from Sheriff Witt
Commitment. Passion. Determination. Courage.
Dedication. Strength.
A deputy's character is never lacking in the Office
of the Fayette County Sheriff. The ardent quality of our
deputies is marked by their commitment to serving the
citizens of Lexington-Fayette County. The joy of being
able to serve our community is what keeps the heart
beating in the Office of the Fayette County Sheriff.
Passion drives our deputies to put their lives at risk
on a daily basis because their efforts will ensure
greater safety for our citizens.
The Office of the Fayette County Sheriff operates on
the highest of standards to serve our community, and yet
the law enforcement professionals in this office still
take service to another level. Our deputies and staff
are committed to giving multifaceted service to our
community. When papers are served to our citizens, we
ensure that those citizens have a shelter and have means
of obtaining food and medications. If a victim of
domestic violence files for an Emergency Protective
Order, we will serve those orders, but we will also give
the victim the assistance needed to protect their self
from future violence. Service is extenuated beyond the
call of duty in the Office of the Fayette County Sheriff
because the hearts of the deputies and staff cannot
rest. The results of such dedication and passion are
abundant in the community. Programs such as the Sex
Offender Compliance Team, Project Lifesaver, TRIAD,
McGruff, and the Anti-Graffiti program are made possible
through the fervent efforts of the deputies and staff at
the Office of the Fayette County Sheriff.
Our incessant commitment to serving the
Lexington-Fayette County area is driven by the force of
compassion. Compassion rests deep in the souls of our
deputies and staff; if it did not, service would not be
rendered so diligently. It is with great pride that I
present to you the Office of the Fayette County Sheriff
on this website. Depicting the commitment and service
our deputies and staff offer to the Lexington-Fayette
County community, this website will acquaint you with
the courageous and honorable efforts of the Fayette
County Sheriff's Office.
Sincerely,
Fayette County Sheriff
