The mission of the Washington County Sheriff's Office (WCSO) Foundation is to raise and contribute funds for programs and/or services that will improve public safety throughout Washington County, which may not be funded through the regular Sheriff's Office Budget. These may include educational programs, programs for public awareness of operations and crime prevention, providing assistance with programs that the WCSO may offer for youth, elderly and the general public, and programs or equipment needed to assist WCSO in the administration of its duties.
