As Sheriff, I work for the citizens of Johnson County Arkansas. The Deputies of the Johnson County Sheriff's Office will treat every person, no matter their position in society, as worthy of respect. Integrity and service are integral to the proper operation of a sheriff's office. My duty is to preserve the peace, provide safety for the courts and operate a safe and humane detention facility. We will accomplish these missions and ensure a safe environment for the citizens we serve.

Duty, honor, integrity, trust and loyalty are the cornerstones of responsible law enforcement. Trust is why I am here, the public's trust in the sheriff was violated and I mean to bring that back. The deputies and detention deputies of the Johnson County Sheriff's office will be held to a high standard. Violation of any of these cornerstones will result in discipline. I will ensure we serve and protect our community.

I will work hard to keep Johnson County safe, making public safety my number one priority to earn your trust and confidence.

Sheriff Tom Hughes
