As many of you are aware, Texas Governor Greg Abbott has issued a public health disaster proclamation and San Angelo Mayor Brenda Gunter has issued a local order continuing a declaration of disaster due to a public health emergency.   

Effective immediately, the Tom Green County Sheriff's Office, will begin to implement strategies to reduce exposure to the public and our employees to the Coronavirus (COVID-19).   To reduce unnecessary exposure to the citizens we serve and our employees, the Tom Green County Sheriff's Office patrol officers will be responding by phone for non-emergency situations to include:

• Misdemeanor Theft
• Harassment
• Lost Property (firearms excluded)
• Family Disciplinary Actions
• Other non-emergency calls which can be resolved over the phone. 

The Tom Green County Sheriff's Office will continue to respond to priority calls and emergency situations.
