Vacation House Checks

The Moffat County Sheriff's Office wants to make the county residents have a worry free vacation. Residents can call in before leaving town and provide information about your absence from your home. Or you can submit our secure vacation house check form through a secure server. Deputies will routinely check your home during your absence.

Ranch Watch Program

The Ranch Watch Program is more of a philosophy that a regimented program. Sheriff Jantz encourages deputies to stop and meet the people we serve. This will help develop relationships between the citizens of Moffat County and the Sheriff's office.

To aid in preventing crimes the Moffat County Sheriff's Office will post signs on both county and private roads to subdivisions. The signs are crime prevention orientated to let others know that you and your neighbors watch out for each other and that the area is patrolled by the Sheriff's Office. If you would like to have a sign placed in your subdivision please call the Moffat County Sheriff's Office at 970-824-4495.

To assist property owners in protecting their property the Moffat County Sheriff's Office has NO TRESPASSING signs for sale. The cost for each sign is $8.00 and the money is to keep the funding of the Ranch Watch program ongoing.
