WABASH COUNTY SHERIFF

SHERIFF TIMOTHY ROBERTS

Sheriff Roberts began his career in law enforcement as a Military Policeman

in the 70s in the US Army.

He retired from the Wabash City Police Department, after 20 years of service, where he was a detective for the department.

He then was elected Sheriff and took office in January 1995. After taking office he stressed education, team work, an effort to work on halting crime (and when not be able to do this, working harder on clearing crime reported to us) and sharing information with other departments. The officers are now better trained and are still gaining information. He started our K-9 program, he started us with Koscuisko County Sheriff's Department in a joint effort to fight drugs, he obtained a federal grant, paying for an officer for 3 years, he started the detective bureau, and he has made the Wabash County Sheriff's Department into a modern department that can be looked at with pride and the knowledge that we have the tools to do our jobs.

Please check back, as we add and change these pages. Oh behalf of the Sheriff, thanks for visiting. His goal is to provide this home page to the citizens of Wabash County, to allow them to learn about the department and to provide them with a means to make comments and ask questions. With so many children on the "net" in schools, libaries and homes, he felt this was a way to reach them. Please send us your comments and questions.
