Patches

	This is the first known patch used by the Sheriff's Office. It was worn until the 1960's.
	This patch was worn by the Deputies of the Sheriff's Office from the 1960's until the late 70's.
	This is the third patch worn by the Washington County Sheriff's Office. This was in use from the late 70's until 1987.
	This design was worn from 1987 until 1993.
	This, the 5th patch worn by Sheriff's Deputies, was used from 1993 until 1997, when it was determined a new design was necessary.
	This one was designed in late 1997 by an employee of the Sheriff's Office. It is currently being worn, and is the first patch to be worn on both shoulders.

Cruisers

	This is the oldest pictured cruiser we have. This scheme was possibly placed in service by Sheriff C. Price.
	The green stripe/Gold Badge scheme was put in service around 1974 by Sheriff F. R. Ford.
	Sheriff Charles Mades changed the color scheme to a blue stripe/gold badge some time around 1986.
	This red and blue stripe scheme was placed on the cruisers in 1996 by Sheriff Mades.
	This scheme was placed on the cruisers in 2007 by Sheriff D. W. Mullendore.

Uniforms

	This is the dark blue uniforms that were worn, beginning around 1974 by Sheriff F. R. Ford. Pictured here are Sgt. Richard Good (ret.) and DFC M. Starliper.
	These are the current uniforms, light blue shirts and dark blue trousers. This uniform was first worn in 1993, placed into effect by Sheriff C. Mades. Pictured here are Dep. D. Lopez, DFC Dave Fortson and DFC Tracey Peyton.
	This is the Detention Center's uniforms, placed into effect in July of 2003. The Correction Deputies previously wore the same uniforms as Patrol. This uniform, light grey shirt/dark pants was chosen so the Correctional Deputies were not wearing the same uniforms as the Patrol Deputies, and mistaking them for a Police Officer.
