Contract Cities

Your Yamhill County Sheriff’s Office (YCSO) is responsible for law enforcement services throughout the 718 square miles of the county. Municipal police departments, such as Carlton, McMinnville, Newberg-Dundee, and Yamhill regularly patrol their own cities and YCSO provides supplemental support to those agencies.
