Items of Interest

Complainants filing court instruments can expedite service if they leave a daytime and nighttime phone number where they may be reached. Always retain you case number and use it when inquiring about your case after filing it with the courts. Deputies do not perform investigation and the best service will be obtained by providing accurate and recent information about each case.

Mental Health

The Wichita County Sheriff's Office has specially trained deputies to handle the sensitive situations that may arise when serving Mental Health papers.
