About Sheriff's Office

The Franklin County Sheriff’s Office has 74 full-time and 22 part-time employees. The jail employs 36 full-time and 11 part-time employees. We are responsible for patrolling over 492 square miles and serving approximately 62,260 citizens.

We have a strong focus on achieving and constantly striving to ensure fairness and equality both as an employer and in the law enforcement service we provide to our citizens.

Located at 285 T Kemp Road, Louisburg, NC 27549, the Franklin County Law Enforcement and Detention Complex is at the heart of law enforcement within our county.

From this facility we serve Franklin County citizens 24 hours a day, and we do this in partnership with our county's municipal and private police agencies.

Our joint purpose is not only to combat crime, but to strive daily to drive crime out of Franklin County so that it may continue to be one of the safest places to live, work, raise a family, and operate a business.

Our Core Values

Peace through Strength

By maintaining a strong presence, projecting a willingness to pursue criminals no matter where they run or hide and by stopping at nothing to ensure this office is the best trained, best equipped and most respected police force in the Country, we deliver a clear message to criminals and those who would do wrong – DON'T!

Protect the Innocent

The most vulnerable in our community - the young, the old, the impoverished, the infirmed are the most likely to be victims of crime. Criminals prey on those that they believe can't or won't fight back. That's were the Franklin Country Sheriff's Office will stand between good and evil because All Lives Matter!
