One command
Sheriff, undersheriff, and assistant sheriff. Assignments are handled in the Dallas County Discord after whitelist.
The department
One star. The whole county.
The Dallas County Sheriff's Department is a single department. Deputies cover everything north of the city of Dallas, and they come into the city when their brothers in blue need help.
On the Dallas County Roleplay server this is the county sheriff. It sits beside Mesquite Police / Dallas Police, Texas DPS, the Game Wardens, and the Texas Rangers. When those city officers need help, the same deputies answer, still wearing this patch. There is one department, and it stays one department.
On the San Andreas map, the county is everything north of the city of Dallas. That is the sheriff's ground: the highways, the towns, and the open stretches between them. Dallas belongs to Mesquite Police and Dallas Police. Deputies go into the city when their brothers in blue need them.
Patrol takes the county roads. Traffic, the motorcycle unit, commercial vehicle enforcement, the high speed unit, offroad, and air support sit on the same department, so the county can field them, and so they are ready when the city asks. A new deputy rides with a training officer until they can hold a shift. That path is on the Training page.

Z. Underwood
Sheriff
Thank you for the chance to serve as Sheriff. It is an honor to work beside all of you and watch every one of you grow.
He has served in more than one FiveM community. He built that command career on dedication, professionalism, and on developing the agency and the people in it.
He began with the Tennessee Highway Patrol and rose to Lieutenant Colonel. There he oversaw operations, organizational development, and training, set agency standards, and mentored command staff and supervisors.
He then served as Captain with the Salt Lake County Sheriff's Office, supervising patrol and managing personnel. He now serves as Sheriff of Dallas County, running day-to-day operations, holding the department accountable, and guiding it as it grows.
That is the reputation he carried here: build a strong department, mentor the next leaders, and keep the standard high.

M. Russ
Undersheriff
It is an honor and a privilege to serve as your Undersheriff. I accept that responsibility with humility, and with a commitment to this department and everyone who wears the badge.
Years of service across departments, assignments, and command positions shaped how I lead. One principle has stayed the same: our people come first. This agency is built on the dedication, professionalism, and trust of every member in it.
Every member deserves the same respect, from the newest deputy to the Sheriff. Leadership is service, accountability, and the example set for the person beside you.
I will lead from the front. I will stand with this department, advocate for our people, and see that every member has the support they deserve. I can be direct, blunt, and demanding. My word will stay genuine, my decisions will follow integrity, and my loyalty stays with this office and its people.
I take this seat seriously, and I will work every day to hold the trust placed in me. Together we will strengthen this department, develop the next deputies and leaders, and build an office this community and this membership can be proud of. I look forward to serving beside each of you.

M. Blackwood
Assistant Sheriff
Being trusted to serve as Assistant Sheriff is an honor, and it carries a real responsibility. I have a great deal of respect for this department, the people who shaped it, and everyone who puts this uniform on. I am proud of what it has become, and proud to help lead it forward.
I am straightforward, and I am blunt. I will be honest with you, including when the conversation is a hard one. I am also someone you can come to. If you need guidance, have a concern, want to learn, or need help figuring something out, I will do my best to be there.
This seat reaches past me. I have a responsibility to protect the standards and the reputation of this department, to support the Sheriff, the Undersheriff, and our command staff, to develop our supervisors and deputies, and to put the department ahead of personal interest. Hard decisions will come, and so will the conversations nobody wants to have. I accept that.
My rank will not change how I treat the people around me. I am part of high command, and I still want to be involved, work beside everyone, and keep learning. I take pride in seeing people succeed, and I will make time to help you get there.
I do not expect perfection. I expect us to respect the badge, respect one another, and remember that our actions represent something bigger than any one person or rank. I will keep showing up, putting in the work, and listening. I am proud to serve beside each of you, and I look forward to where we take this department together.
