Gaines County Sheriff's Office

Gaines County Sheriff's Office operates from the Gaines County Law Enforcement Center in Seminole, Texas, with patrol deputies, jailers and a communications section that dispatches around the clock. Its administrative office is open on weekdays, and a crime line takes tips. The office posts written notices for crime victims, including notices to adult victims of family violence and sexual assault in English and Spanish, a crime victims' rights statement, and Texas HHS material on the rights of survivors of dating violence, family violence, stalking, harassment and terroristic threats. Residents can also find justice of the peace citation courtesy letters, a tenants' rights handbook, the blue driver's crash report form, a livestock form and a shooting range liability waiver. Event organizers who want off-duty deputies should apply at least two weeks ahead, and approval depends on staffing. The county's game room policy, adopted on December 18, 2024, is available through the office. Residents can report suspected crime and file complaints about employee conduct through an internal affairs form. VINELink custody status and missing children resources are provided for victims and families. Job seekers can review patrol deputy, jailer and communications job descriptions and the TCOLE personal history statement.
