What is RESS (Re-Entry Support Services)?
Often our residents (formally known as inmates) leave the detention facility (jail) without the necessities needed to transition into their new life.
The purpose of RESS is to support their initial efforts. It intercepts the residents who are being released from the detention center and into the community. By providing a backpack filled with toiletries, it is the first step to regaining their dignity.
It is our hope, that by providing these items, it will help our residents to successfully transition back into their communities. For more information about RESS, please visit the Sheriff's website: www.mecksheriff.com. Click Services and then select Re-Entry Support Services (RESS).
We are looking for friendly and outgoing volunteers who can staff the RESS help desk. Job responsibilities include greeting residents and visitors. This also includes offering RESS backpacks to leaving residents.

Mission Statement
The mission of the Mecklenburg County Sheriff’s Office is to serve our community through intentional engagement, access and transparency. To perform the constitutional and statutory mandates of the Office of Sheriff with the highest degree of competence, skill and professionalism. To actively enforce the laws of our state and to safely operate our detention facilities through progressive, innovative and humane practices aimed towards rehabilitating those in custody through non-conventional methods and returning citizens back into our community with hope and a chance for a successful future.
Description
For over 250 years, forty-five High Sheriffs have served the citizens of Mecklenburg County by carrying out their responsibilities of the serving civil processes, the execution of judgments, evicting of tenants who default on their payments, and the seizure of property. The Mecklenburg County Sheriff is also responsible for the operation of North Carolina’s largest municipal detention system, which provides safe, humane and professional detention services to those incarcerated and awaiting trial.
The Office of Sheriff is mandated in the North Carolina Constitution and the Sheriff serves as the Chief Law Enforcement Officer of the County elected by the citizens for a four-year term. The Mecklenburg County Sheriff’s Office in its scope and territorial jurisdiction which encompasses all of Mecklenburg County has full law enforcement authority to enforce criminal laws, traffic laws, preserve the peace, and to prevent and detect crime. The Mecklenburg County Sheriff’s Office does not take 911 calls for service but make no mistake about it; we are a law enforcement organization that actively enforces the law to keep the citizens of this great county safe.
