Asked how his department's budget looked for the coming year, Washington County Sheriff Barry Curtis chuckled and replied, “I think it looks great.”
The Sheriff’s Department’s proposed budget for 2024 is up 14 percent over the 2023 budget. In dollars and cents, Curtis is asking for $2,536,901, which is up $315,994 from this year.
