Welcome to the Charles County Sheriff’s Office. I am Sheriff Rex Coffey and I am privileged to serve the citizens of this community and to lead the men and women of this Agency.

The Sheriff’s Office has a sacred obligation to protect life and property and to perform our duties with the highest degree of professionalism and integrity. As a progressive agency, our innovative programs and access to advanced technology help us to work more efficiently but while these are core components of our public safety strategy, we will always rely on the tried and true methods of good, old-fashioned policing: persistence, good judgment, teamwork, reliability and ingenuity. We are tough on crime and responsive to the needs and concerns of our community.

We are proud of the collaborative efforts we take part in with citizens, businesses, community organizations, government leaders and fellow law enforcement agencies. These alliances are essential to the fight against crime and inspire our efforts to enhance our community through outreach initiatives.

We believe in offering young citizens positive opportunities and in educating our oldest and wisest citizens about some of the issues facing seniors. We also offer all citizens opportunities to learn how to better protect themselves from crime and to participate actively in our crime prevention initiatives. Moreover, while our primary responsibility at the Detention Center is to keep inmates secure, we also offer them access to a general-equivalency diploma program, a chaplain program and other services to ensure they re-enter society as better citizens. We also support with fierce devotion a number of charitable organizations including United Way, the American Cancer Society, Special Olympics Maryland and March of Dimes.

Thank you for visiting our Web site. I encourage your comments and suggestions and remind you to contact us whenever we can be of assistance.

Sincerely,

Sheriff Rex Coffey
