Community Programs
The Sussex County Sheriff’s Office’s goals in offering our community programs are to reduce the criminal victimization of all of our residents, especially senior citizens and enhance the delivery of law enforcement services.

The programs include the following:
​
• Active Shooter Civilian Response
