Montgomery County was the third county created by the Republic of Texas in 1837, and the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office was established at that time under its first Sheriff, Joshua Robbins.  That began a long and rich history of service to the citizens of Montgomery County by its Sheriff's Office, which reached its 185th anniversary in 2022. Today, MCSO is a premier law enforcement agency, and is the seventh largest Sheriff's Office in the State of Texas.  

Elected as Sheriff by the citizens of Montgomery County in 2024, Sheriff Wesley Doolittle was sworn in on January 1st, 2025 and now leads the agency of more than 1000 law enforcement professionals and civilian support personnel, who's mission of service to the citizens of Montgomery County is second to none.

Sheriff Doolittle began his law enforcement career as a State Trooper for the Texas Department of Public Safety, and served that Agency 23 years, 13 of which were as a Texas Ranger.  ​​​​​
