The Henry County Sheriff’s Office responded to a high volume of activity in March, handling 1,616 calls for service across the county, according to the agency’s latest monthly report.
That averages out to more than 40 calls per day in a county of roughly 22,100 residents, highlighting the continued demand placed on local law enforcement.
In addition to calls for service, deputies made 40 arrests, completed 117 offense reports, and conducted 434 traffic stops during the month. The agency also reported 92 bookings into the jail, while the average daily inmate population reached 106—just below the facility’s capacity of 119.
Year-to-date numbers through March show 4,329 calls for service, 352 reports, 106 arrests, and 1,062 traffic stops.
Sheriff’s officials say deputies remained proactive throughout the month, conducting targeted traffic enforcement in areas around Clinton and Windsor while continuing criminal investigations and community policing efforts.
The report also notes the Sheriff’s Office generated the highest number of incidents among public safety agencies in the county, surpassing both the Clinton Police Department and Golden Valley Ambulance Service.
Among contract cities, Windsor saw the highest activity with 38 reports, 11 arrests, and 113 traffic stops. Smaller communities like Montrose, Calhoun, Urich, and Deepwater reported more limited activity.
Beyond enforcement, deputies remained active in the community, participating in events such as the Urich St. Patrick’s Day Parade, the “Slice of Justice” outreach event, and a multi-agency emergency exercise at the local airport.
Inside the detention center, officials reported an increase in inmate population heading into the spring months, along with ongoing staffing transitions and continued training efforts.
The Investigations Division also expanded its focus on narcotics enforcement, assigning a dedicated detective to drug-related cases in an effort to target repeat offenders and reduce crime across the county.
Meanwhile, more than 3,700 visitors passed through the Henry County Courthouse in March, where sheriff’s deputies and bailiffs maintained security during court proceedings.
In a message included in the report, Sheriff Aaron Brown emphasized continued transparency, accountability, and proactive policing, encouraging residents to engage directly with the office and be part of ongoing conversations about public safety.
Officials say the Sheriff’s Office will continue focusing on enforcement, community engagement, and operational readiness as activity levels remain high across Henry County.
