The mission of Sheriff’s Fun Day over which Sheriff Gerald Robinson oversees is to “work to encourage the quality of life and positive development of capable youth by promoting a drug free way of life through education and prevention activities.

Sheriff’s Fun Day will provide a safe and drug free environment where all children and families experience caring and encouragement. “The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office is committed to positively impacting the lives of all youth to include those who are underprivileged.”
The public is invited and encouraged to attend this year’s Sheriff’s Fun Day, where activities will include but are not limited to the following:
