Ottawa County Sheriff's Office

Public Awareness Information

The Ottawa County Sheriff’s Office would like to remind citizens that they should never allow an individual to enter your home or business without proper identification for any reason.

Service employees with most organizations will be carrying issued identification cards. These cards should have the employee’s name and photograph clearly displayed. The customary practice is to schedule an appointment with customers should an employee need to enter a home or business to gain access to service related issues. Additionally, in most cases, service employees will be driving a company vehicle and wearing a uniform shirt with a business or company logo.

Please report any suspicious activity to your local law enforcement by calling Ottawa County Central Dispatch at 9-1-1 or 1-866-773-0911.
