Law Enforcement 
&
Community

Sheriff Dean Danzeisen

As Sheriff of Mercer County I will provide quality service in a compassionate, professional and safe manner. I and my staff will  promote a community policing philosophy by encouraging and supporting citizen involvement. 

We will continually enhance the working relations with other public and private organizations in the county and the state.  Our enforcement of the laws of the land  will utilize only that force necessary in the apprehension and safe keeping of offenders.

Our goals are to enhance organizational excellence through education, training and technology:  to identify and analyze problems, explore alternatives and provide solutions.
 
My team philosophy is to promote job satisfaction, open communication, team building and decision making through employee participation.

Mission Statement

Our mission is to improve the quality of life in Mercer County by working together with all citizens to preserve life, maintain human rights, protect property and promote public safety.
