Leadership for Wayne County
The Wayne County Sheriff’s Office, under the leadership of Sheriff Larry M. Pierce, is committed to protecting and serving every citizen of Wayne County. Our mission is rooted in preserving peace, upholding the Constitution, and preventing crime through proactive enforcement and community partnership.
With dedicated divisions including Investigations, Patrol, Warrant Services, Drug Enforcement, Aviation, and more, we work tirelessly to ensure the safety of our neighborhoods. We believe in professionalism, integrity, and service above self—values that guide every deputy and staff member.
From crime prevention education to detention center operations, concealed handgun permitting, and specialized task forces, the Sheriff’s Office is here to meet both today’s challenges and tomorrow’s needs. Together, we are building a safer, stronger community.
“I proudly served as a State Trooper for 30 years and retired honorably in 2023. I’m endorsing Sheriff Larry Pierce for re-election because he has the experience, leadership, and proven track record to keep Wayne County safe. His door is always open, and he leads with integrity. With over 40 years in law enforcement, experience matters—let’s re-elect Sheriff Larry Pierce.”
