Dear Oldham County citizens, 

I began my career serving the citizens of this community in 1990 and spent most of that time working at the Oldham County Police Department. In 2015, I decided the time was right to pursue some dreams, and I retired from the agency. While I thoroughly enjoyed my retirement, I always knew in my heart that I was not finished serving the people of Oldham County. This is home, and counting my grandchildren, it has been home for nine generations of my family. I have dedicated a majority of my life to serving you, the residents of this county, and I will continue to do so as your Sheriff.

It is truly an honor to serve you and lead the men and woman who serve this community as members of the Oldham County Sheriff’s Office.

Sincerely,

Timothy R. Wakefield

Oldham County Sheriff

Welcome to the Oldham County Sheriff’s Office. I am proud to say that the Sheriff’s Office is offering a greater return than ever to its taxpayers. We are providing service more efficiently than ever, and we’re doing it better.

As the chief law enforcement officer in Oldham County, I want our residents and visitors to feel safe not only in their own neighborhoods but in every area of the county. The only way to achieve this is to collaborate with every aspect of the county. This must include cities, local government, police departments, businesses, neighborhoods, civic groups, schools, teachers, and parents, but we didn’t stop there.

The OLDHAM COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE is accepting applications for a LATERAL DEPUTY SHERIFF. *APPLY HERE*
