Our Community, Our Safety, Our Mission
From the waterfronts of Deltaville to the historic streets of Urbanna, from the farms along Route 33 to Saluda and Water View — Middlesex County is defined by neighbors who look out for one another.
A Sheriff’s Office That Reflects the Community It Serves
Kristen Schomburg believes the Sheriff’s Office should listen to residents, be present in the communities it protects, and treat public safety as a partnership between law enforcement and the citizens of Middlesex County.
This page exists to keep you informed, connected, and involved — whether you need a resource, want to share a concern, or are ready to help build a safer community.
Residents
Square miles of coastal landscape
Miles of shoreline
Rivers — Rappahannock & Piankatank
Bordered by the Chesapeake Bay, the county’s geography, waterways, and dispersed population create unique public safety needs — making responsive, community-focused law enforcement essential to the quality of life that makes Middlesex home.
Where We Stand — And Where We Can Do Better
Middlesex County is a safe place to live, and the men and women who serve here deserve our respect. But being safe today doesn’t mean we can’t be better prepared for tomorrow.
Response Times Across 130 Square Miles
With a limited number of deputies on shift at any given time, response times in rural areas can stretch longer than residents expect. Water View, Jamaica, and parts of Deltaville are often furthest from patrol coverage. Smart deployment and data-driven scheduling can give every corner of the county the attention it deserves.
A $1.3M Radio System Classified as Urgent
Reliable communication is the backbone of effective law enforcement. Kristen will work with county leadership to secure grants and state funding to modernize the public safety radio system without overburdening local taxpayers.
Drugs, Sexual Assault & Domestic Violence
Rural Virginia has not been spared the drug crisis, and residents have raised serious concerns about sexual assault and domestic violence. Meeting them takes both strong enforcement and partnership with victim-witness programs and healthcare providers.
Protecting Seniors and Children
With one of the region’s older median-age populations, Middlesex needs welfare checks, proactive outreach, and fraud-prevention education. Protecting children requires online safety education and coordinated partnerships with schools and families.
For detailed crime data, review the annual reports from the Virginia State Police, the Virginia Sheriffs’ Association, or the FBI Crime Data Explorer.
Where to Turn When You Need Help
Part of serving the community is making sure residents know where to go — in an emergency, for a court question, or when they are worried about a neighbor.
