Nebraska sheriff oversight

Hayes County

Thomas Dow, Sheriff

Compare with similar counties · Nebraska average

Hayes County has no independent civilian oversight body for its Sheriff's Office. The Hayes County Sheriff is an elected county officer; Nebraska law sets election and residency eligibility for the office at Neb. Rev. Stat. § 23-1701. No statewide statute requires county-level civilian oversight of sheriffs in Nebraska, and no Nebraska county currently has one.

Staffing and budget data for Hayes County will appear in a future update.
