With the funding from the Big Sky Resort Area District, The Gallatin County Sheriff’s Office is able to have deputies stationed in the Big Sky and Madison areas. The funding allows the Gallatin County Sheriff to provide general law enforcement services and the associated support functions to the people of the Big Sky Area in a more timely fashion.
All of our deputies are Search and Rescue Coordinators. These individuals set up Incident Command Posts and give direction and add a calming effect in a crisis situation.
Sergeant Matt Dougherty stationed in Big Sky is also a Deputy Coroner, which allows our office to have a coroner that can respond to fatalities in the area without having to wait for one to be dispatched from Bozeman. Coroners can often alleviate a person’s cares and concerns after the loss of their loved one along with the aid of our Chaplain.
Thank you for assisting our office with the necessary funding to help keep our community safe and informed.
