Dubois County, Indiana, has about 44,000 residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate).

Which Agency Holds a Report from Dubois County

In Dubois County that is the Dubois County Sheriff's Office for the unincorporated county and for any city that contracts with it for police service, and the agency that reports for a city where the city has one of its own.
