The Sheboygan County Sheriff's Office was established in 1846, with T.C. Horner the first sheriff elected. The Sheriff's Office was once located inside the David Taylor House,<ref>{{cite news|title='Crime and Punishment' follows the history of law enforcement in Sheboygan County|publisher=The Sheboygan Press|date=August 19, 2010}}</ref> which still stands today in the same location as a part of the Sheboygan County Historical Museum. The jail was located in the basement of the David Taylor House from 1915 to 1936 while the Sheriff's Office was located on the first floor and the sheriff's residence on the second floor. In 1936, the Sheriff's Office and [[county jail]] moved to the top floor of the [[Sheboygan County Courthouse]].{{citation needed|date=October 2022}}

In 1981, the Sheboygan County Sheriff's Office relocated to its present location inside the Law Enforcement Center at 525 North 6th Street in Sheboygan. At the time, it was a very contemporary linear facility with modern security systems. The second floor of the Sheriff's Office served as the county jail until 1998 when a 95,000 square foot, 295 bed Detention Center was constructed on the city's south side. It was envisioned the Sheriff's Office and the Sheboygan Police Department would be housed inside the Law Enforcement Center but that never occurred.{{citation needed|date=October 2022}}

In 2012, after years of discussion, the Sheboygan County and City of Sheboygan approved an agreement to combine emergency dispatch at the Law Enforcement Center.<ref>{{cite news|title=Preliminary Approval for Joint Dispatch|url=http://whbl.com/news/articles/2012/oct/30/preliminary-approval-for-joint-dispatch/|accessdate=March 18, 2015|publisher=WHBL 1330 AM|date=October 30, 2012}}</ref> Under the proposal, the city will fund remodeling of the new center by providing $2.5 million for the project.<ref>{{cite news|title=Combined dispatch gets green light|url=https://www.plymouth-review.com/node/232351|accessdate=March 18, 2015|publisher=The Plymouth Review|date=January 24, 2013}}</ref> The Joint Dispatch Center began operation in 2016.

The current sheriff is Cory Roeseler, who was elected to his first term in office in 2018.<ref>{{cite news |title=Sheboygan County Sheriff Cory Roeseler running for reelection |url=https://wkts.org/2022/04/20/sheboygan-county-sheriff-cory-roeseler-running-for-reelection/ |access-date=April 20, 2022 |publisher=WKTS |date=April 20, 2022}}</ref>
