About

Jim LaFarr

Please let me introduce myself, I am Warren County Sheriff Jim LaFarr. I’ve enjoyed a rewarding thirty-four years of service in law enforcement thus far and couldn’t be happier with my career choice and the agency I selected.

I began my career with the Warren County Sheriff’s Office as a part-time seasonal Patrol Officer in May 1991 and was later hired full-time in August 1993. I started working my way up the ranks in 2001 with promotions to Investigator, Investigative Sergeant, Investigative Lieutenant and Major. In November of 2019 I was elected to serve as the Sheriff of Warren County.

During my time in law enforcement I have worked as a uniform police officer, a plain clothes Investigator and served in many supervisory and Administrative capacities. As Sheriff, I am responsible for the oversight of all Sheriff’s Office police operations, covert narcotics investigations, our Correctional Facility, Emergency 911 Communications Center and the County Civil law enforcement services.

I also serve as an Auditor/Consultant for the New York State Division of Criminal Justice Services. This allows me to travel to police departments all across New York State, inspect/audit their operations, and offer guidance for professional improvement. It is an amazing professional opportunity.

I am extremely excited for what the future has in store for Warren County and our Sheriff’s Office. If I can ever be of professional assistance please don’t hesitate to contact me.

Thank you.

Sincerely,

Jim LaFarr, Sheriff
