The Hocking County OH Sheriff's Office operating without an on-site detention facility serves as the central hub for law enforcement and administrative functions within the county. This office manages a range of responsibilities, including law enforcement, community policing, investigative duties, and administrative support. The sheriff and their deputies are responsible for maintaining public safety, responding to emergencies, conducting criminal investigations, and enforcing court orders.

When an individual is arrested within the county, the sheriff's office handles the initial booking process, which includes documenting personal information, recording the details of the arrest, and taking fingerprints and photographs. Since the county lacks its holding jail, the arrestees are not detained at the sheriff's administrative facility. Instead, they are promptly transferred to the nearby Southeastern Ohio Regional Jail, (which also serves the counties of Athens, Morgan, Perry, and Vinton.) This regional facility is equipped to house inmates and manage their needs from the time of their arrest until their case is adjudicated.

The transfer to the regional detention center ensures that all individuals are securely detained in a facility designed to handle various security and logistical needs. This center provides housing, meals, medical care, and access to legal resources for the detainees. It also facilitates visitation, communication with family and legal representatives, and participation in programs that may aid in their rehabilitation or legal defense.

Overall, the sheriff's office focuses on the enforcement and administrative aspects of its role, collaborating with the regional detention center to ensure that arrested individuals are appropriately processed and securely held until their legal proceedings are concluded. This arrangement allows the sheriff's office to concentrate on maintaining law and order within the county while leveraging the resources and infrastructure of the regional detention facility for inmate management.
