Letter from Sheriff Phalen
Our office works hard to make significant improvements in our county in order to
continue to make Fairfield County a great place to live and raise a family. My office
is committed to making our neighborhoods safer. By doing so, we will improve the
quality of life for individuals and families, both young and old. It is imperative
that we seek new ways to reduce the negative influences that crime has on children
and to help safeguard the elderly. Our approach has been three-fold.
- Integrity
- Commitment to Excellence
- Community Involvement
Serving the citizens of Fairfield County has been an exciting and rewarding time
for me. I appreciate all the support you have given to the Sheriff's Office. It
is true that together we can make a difference, now and in the future.
- Sheriff Dave Phalen
