A Message from the Sheriff

I want to thank you for taking the time and stopping by the Cheshire County Sheriff’s Office website. The Cheshire County Sheriff’s Office is located in beautiful downtown Keene, New Hampshire. We serve a population of approximately 70,000 people covering over 707 square miles. The County includes 23 towns located in the southwestern corner of New Hampshire bordering Vermont and Massachusetts. The men and women of the Cheshire County Sheriff’s Office are committed to serving the people of Cheshire County with the utmost respect and professionalism.

Sheriff Eli Rivera 

As members of the Cheshire County Sheriff’s Office, we are committed to serving with integrity and dignity, safeguarding through compassion, and ensuring our community is safe to live, work, play, and visit while preserving the public’s trust and confidence.

We will be recognized for our exemplary service, professionalism, and dedication to the people we serve as we adapt to emerging trends and contribute to the quality of life for all.

We will adopt a more reasonable culture of the guardian mindset as we seek to safeguard the communities we serve. Service over crime-fighting, communications over command, cooperation over compliance, legitimacy over authority, restraint over control, stability over action.

We will accomplish this by providing and improving our civil process services, prisoner transportation, court security, public safety communications, and our responsibility as law enforcement Deputies.
