Here at the Douglas County Sheriff's Office we believe that Crime Prevention is as much a part of our duty as responding to a crime that has already occurred. One very effective way of preventing crime is through community education. We have provided the following information and brochures to help educate the community about crime prevention, safety and preparedness. Please feel free to download, read, and pass-on the information provided below.
