Community Safety
Christian County
As the Christian County Sheriff for the past 13 years and with over 43 years of law enforcement experience throughout the State of Illinois, I can assure you that Christian County is a very safe community and an excellent place to operate a business. Federal, State, County and City Law Enforcement Officials work closely together to ensure that Christian County continues to remain a county with a very low crime rate and a very safe place to live, raise a family and advance a business.
