Mission Statement:

We will perform in such a manner that promotes the public’s trust, confidence, and sense of safety and security. The Rockbridge County Sheriff's Office was formed in 1778 and has served Rockbridge County and the City of Lexington for over 247 years. The Sheriff's Office is the primary law enforcement agency for Rockbridge County working closely with the State Police, the Buena

Vista Police Department, the Lexington Police Department, the Virginia Military Institute Police Department, the Washington and Lee Public Safety Department, and the Town of Glasgow Police Department. The Sheriff's Office employs a total staff of 45 full-time and 5 part-time members that serve in administration, patrol, investigations, court security, civil process, and support. The Rockbridge County Sheriff's Office protects and serves an area of 601 square miles and a population of 22,650, not including the populations of the two independent cities that are enclaved within the county’s geographical borders. The combined population reaches around 36,611. Rockbridge County was named for Natural Bridge, a notable landmark in the southern portion of the county which is now a state park. In addition to the two independent cities of Buena Vista and Lexington, the county contains the Towns of Glasgow and Goshen and the 13 unincorporated communities of Brownsburg, Collierstown, East Lexington, Fairfield, Gilmore Mills, Marlbrook, Mechanicsville, Natural Bridge, Natural Bridge Station, Raphine, Rockbridge Baths, Steeles Tavern, and Vesuvius. Rockbridge County is served by Interstates 64 and 81, US Routes 11, 60, and 501, and State Routes 39, 56, 130, 251, and 252. It is bordered by Bath County to the northwest, Augusta County to the Northeast, Nelson County to the east, Amherst County to the southeast, Bedford County to the south, Botetourt County to the southwest, and Alleghany County to the west.

Sheriff's Senior Social - Picture Set #2:

“As your Sheriff, it is an honor to serve you and to carry the tremendous responsibility of leading the dedicated men and women who help me protect and serve our communities.

My team—your team—is truly exceptional. I believe there are no finer law enforcement professionals anywhere in our nation than the ones we have here in Rockbridge County and Lexington City.

When I took office, I pledged to be more transparent, more accessible, and more engaged with the people we serve. I committed to seeking your input and listening to your concerns so that together we could strengthen the way we provide public safety services to our communities.

Our Sheriff's Senior Social is just one example of that commitment. It provides an opportunity for us to meet face-to-face, share information, answer questions, and hear directly from our senior citizens about the issues that matter most to them. Building strong relationships with our community is essential to effective law enforcement, and events like this help us continue that important work.

Thank you for the trust and support you have placed in me and the Office of the Sheriff for Rockbridge County and Lexington City. We remain committed to serving with professionalism, integrity, and compassion every day.

We wear the badge with pride, serve with honor, and never forget the impact we have on the people we protect.”
— Sheriff Tony A. McFaddin, Jr.
