Our new building houses the Sheriff’s Office, 911 Dispatch Center, as well as the County Jail. We moved into the new facility at 119 E Brumfield Av in Princeton the middle of May 2025. The entrance is located at the corner of Brumfield Av and Prince St.

At 6 a.m. on May 28th, 2023, Officer Bello was working the jail board in our dispatch center when a 911 call came in from a Hispanic female. At the time neither of the Communications Officers could understand or speak Spanish. Officer Bello, who is a native of Brazil, speaks not only English but Portuguese and some Spanish. With this knowledge, he was able to translate on the fly for the dispatcher to get medical help to the caller.
“I am extremely proud of Officer Bello for stepping out of his comfort zone and getting help to one of our citizens. ” – Sheriff Vanoven
