In the State of Wyoming, all Detention Deputy Sheriff's are vested with the full powers of a sworn peace officer. Their tour of duty starts and ends in the jail detention facility. At times the Sheriff may call upon them to perform their police duties beyond the jail walls. Should this become a common practice the Detention Deputy Sheriff must complete and become certified as a Patrol Deputy Sheriff within one year of such assignment if they are not currently certified as a Patrol Deputy Sheriff. |

THE DETENTION MISSION STATEMENT:
We are dedicated to the communities of Niobrara County that through our team work we will provide for a safe and secure facility for both inmates, staff and citizens.
The Primary Mission of the Niobrara County Sheriff's Detention / Jail Center is to ensure arrested persons appear before the courts to answer the charges they have been accused.
Our Mission is dedicated to the communities of Niobrara County, Wyoming. We promise that through our detention staff team work, we will work to provide a safe and secure facility for both inmates, staff and volunteers. We will ensure that both inmates, staff and volunteers constitutional rights are maintained. Inmates who are housed at our facility will be cared for in a humane, ethical standard.
We understand that jail incarceration is often difficult where a loved one is removed from family and friends, where contact is limited. The legal standard for the incarcerated will be upheld in our facility. All inmates will have access to the courts, legal counsel and the means to post bail or bond ensuring their appearance in court. Beyond these rights visitation with family and friends is only a privilege that can be restricted. If the visiting privilege has not been removed for an inmate in our facility, we have posted inmate visiting and phone privileges.
Inmates / prisoners at the Niobrara County Sheriff Detention Facility will generally have collect call phone privileges seven day per week between the hours of 11 am to 10 pm. Inmate / prisoner phone privileges maybe restricted to meet security and facility needs without reason or notice.
