The Gibson County Sheriff’s Office Strives To Create A Safe Community that enhances the quality of life and reduces crime and the fear of crime for residents and citizens of Gibson County, Indiana.
The Indiana Sheriffs' Association is currently ramping up their membership drive for the coming year. Citizens of Gibson County may receive a letter signed by Sheriff Vanoven inviting them to become members of the ISA. These membership dues are $25 for individuals and range anywhere from $50-$1,000 for businesses. A postage-paid envelope will be included with the letter for the citizens who wish to participate to return their membership dues to the Association. Upon receipt of the dues, the Association will mail credentials back to each new member which will include a receipt, membership card and two-star window decals. Businesses receive a membership card, two-star window decals and a wall plaque. The Indiana Sheriffs' Association NEVER solicits by telephone! Why join the ISA? Your membership helps provide quality technical services and training for Sheriff's Office Personnel. It also helps provide top notch legal and legislative information and monitoring. You membership allows the ISA and local Sheriffs to promote public service programs concerning crime prevention and public safety to the communities we serve, and your membership helps develop future law enforcement officers through supporting the Summer Youth Leadership Camps AND to help provide College Scholarship opportunities! Joining the Association is VOLUNTARY, and you don't have to join unless you choose to do so.
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.
Corrections Officer Fernando Bello
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
