Cocke County Sheriff's Department

While understaffed and underfunded by the county officials, they do their absolute best with the resources they are provided from city/county council, in order to fulfill their duties.nnShortcomings should be directed toward county leadership and their lack of seeing the seriousness of the current jail situation.nnThe sheriff and his staff are professionals and conduct themselves as such in order to provide the needed services, to the best of their abilities with the resources provided by the council.

This facility is so understaffed it should be shut down. Inmates often do not receive basic hygiene products. Not even a towel. If you from out of town and need basic information, good luck reaching someone that can provide correct answers. This facility is in dire need of state intervention before someone ends up seriously injured or dead due to understaffing.

Why is it that the police officers can use their phones why drive but the other people can't

Thanks Everybody!nSheriff Fontes is doing a great job!

The department is a joke when you tell them you got robbed They tell you just go to your insurance,instead of investigating the robbery for fingerprints
