The Golden Valley County Sheriff's Office, under the leadership of Sheriff Robert Pallas, primarily serves as the central hub for law enforcement and administrative functions within the county. While the office operates with a 72-hour holding cell, it does not maintain a full-service jail. Instead, the sheriff's office is responsible for law enforcement duties such as community policing, criminal investigations, emergency response, and the enforcement of court orders.

When an individual is arrested in Golden Valley County, the sheriff's office conducts the initial booking process, which includes recording personal details, documenting the circumstances of the arrest, and collecting fingerprints and photographs. Due to the lack of a dedicated jail facility, arrestees are not housed at the sheriff’s office beyond the short-term holding period. Instead, they are transferred to a county jail or regional detention center equipped to provide long-term housing and manage their needs until their case is resolved.

By transferring detainees to a nearby facility, the sheriff's office ensures they are held in a secure environment designed for proper inmate care and management. The regional jail provides housing, meals, medical services, and access to legal resources, as well as visitation opportunities and communication with family members and legal representatives. Additionally, it offers programs that may support rehabilitation or legal preparation for those in custody.

This operational model allows the Golden Valley County Sheriff's Office to focus on maintaining public safety and law enforcement duties while relying on a fully equipped detention center for inmate housing and care. The collaboration between the sheriff’s office and the regional detention facility ensures a streamlined approach to law enforcement and corrections within the county.

Visitation Information

The Golden Valley Co Sheriff assumes a comprehensive role in law enforcement, encompassing duties such as patrolling, investigating crimes, making arrests, and executing warrants. This division of responsibilities allows the sheriff's team to concentrate on maintaining public safety and effective law enforcement operations, while detention services are outsourced to other jurisdictions due to the absence of a jail on-site.

The Sheriff's Office must coordinate with the nearby county jail or a regional jail to house their arrestees and you may call 406-568-2321 to get accurate information. This arrangement requires efficient collaboration and communication to transfer detainees to appropriate holding facilities where they can await trial or post bail. Consequently, there is no dedicated location within the sheriff's jurisdiction for visiting detainees, necessitating that family members and legal representatives travel to the external facilities where the arrestees are held.
