ALWYN COUNTY SHERIFF’S DEPARTMENT
Dedicated to the safety and service of Alwyn County residents.
About The ACSD
Established in 1893, the Alwyn County Sheriff’s Department provides law-enforcement services to the rural communities surrounding Black Glass Lake, Yellowfield Road, and the northern orchard districts.
Originally a two-room outpost near the rail spur, the department expanded through the mid-20th century to support patrol, search-and-rescue, and emergency response across the county’s rugged shoreline and forest regions.
Today, ACSD operates from a small administrative building on County Route 7, housing:
Patrol division
Dispatch/communications
Records & civil services
Missing Persons & Investigations
Forensic evidence storage
Search & rescue coordination
Although the county remains quiet, the department handles a notable number of wilderness-related incidents, water-rescue calls, and missing-person reports tied to the lake region.
