​​​​​​Citizen Feedback


The Isle of Wight County Sheriff’s Office strives to provide outstanding service to both the citizens of the county and to those who happen to be in our county for work, leisure, or just passing through.

We believe in helping to the best of our abilities. It is our job and our duty.  It is what we do!  We want to assist you and perform our other mandated duties without incident.  

There are times when an employee performs his/her duties in a manner so appreciated that a citizen wants to say “thank you” or “job well done!”

We also recognize that there may be times when a citizen may have a complaint or is unhappy with an encounter with one of our staff.  If this is the case, then certainly you have the right to voice your concerns.  


We want to hear from you, the citizens we serve, so that we can ensure our agency provides open communication and professional, courteous service at all times.  We provide numerous methods to speak with us. Please choose the best option that best suites your needs.
