The Greene County Sheriff's Office (GCSO) is Greene County, Virginia's primary law enforcement agency.

After a 1994 study rated Greene County the second most dangerous county in Virginia for traffic, the Sheriff's office cracked down on speeding. In 1997, the office wrote 15 times more tickets than in 1992.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Lucy |first=William H. |url=https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/1022945238 |title=Tomorrow's cities, tomorrow's suburbs |date=2017 |others=David L.

In November 2016, a few days before election day, the Sheriff's department held a public seminar at [[Piedmont Virginia Community College]] on [[Islam]] and [[jihadism]]. Counter-protestors described the content as [[islamophobic]], and the group that spoke at the seminar was later added to the [[Southern Poverty Law Center]]'s list of hate groups.<ref>{{Cite web |date=November 6, 2016 |title=People Protest 'Muslim Threat' Seminar at PVCC |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161109105201/https://www.nbc29.com/story/33640603/people-protest-muslim-threat-seminar-at-pvcc/ |access-date=October 22, 2022 |archive-date=November 9, 2016|website=NBC29|url=https://www.nbc29.com/story/33640603/people-protest-muslim-threat-seminar-at-pvcc/}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Fitzgerald |first=Pat |title=Seminar on Islam and jihad stirs controversy in Greene |url=https://dailyprogress.com/news/local/seminar-on-islam-and-jihad-stirs-controversy-in-greene/article_fb3d413a-9a41-11e6-b20a-cbb5cd2fa40f.html |access-date=October 22, 2022 |website=The Daily Progress |date=October 24, 2016 |language=en}}</ref>
