Operation Telephone Program
When you or a loved one is home alone for long periods of time, one phone call can make all the difference.
Operation Telephone program is a FREE service to provide members of our community with peace of mind.
For over 30 years the Warren County Sheriff’s Office has provided a free program that provides daily contact to citizens that are elderly, have special needs or live alone.
If we don't hear from you, we will reach out to you and if needed, a deputy will come to your residence to check on you.
Operation Telephone Call participants are asked to call our office each day at 540 635-4128. If our office is not contacted by 3:00 p.m., we call the participant’s home. If we are unable to make contact by phone, one of our deputies goes to the residence to check on the individual.
The service can be suspended or discontinued at any time.
If you are planning to be away from home and cannot be reached, just let us know and we will suspend calls. There is no charge for this service! If you'd like to remove yourself from the program simply contact us.
Warren County Sheriff’s Office is happy to provide this program to the citizens of Front Royal/Warren County.
If you have any questions, please contact our office at (540) 635-4128 and we will be happy to assist you!

Child Safety Seat Installation
If you are a new parent, grandparent, or caregiver, and are seeking assistance with proper placement and installation of a child safety seat within your vehicle, the Warren Co. Sheriff's Office has deputies that have been trained and certified in the proper installation of child safety seats and would be glad to help. If you would like assistance in installing a child seat, or if you would like for one of our certified child safety seat technician deputies to inspect your child safety seat, please contact our office Monday through Friday from 8:00am until 4:00pm.
You can also visit SaferCar.gov or the NHTSA website for additional safety seat installation information. This site offers videos providing instruction for installing infant only rear-facing safety seats, convertible rear-facing seats, forward facing safety seats, and belt positioning booster seats.
Child Identification Program
The Warren County Sheriff’s Office Child Identification Program provides parents/guardians with personal fingerprint identification cards for children ages four and up. Parents of toddler-age children are provided with a special identification packet designed for parental utilization with their child at home.
Child fingerprinting is usually done by our D.A.R.E. (Drug Awareness Resistance Education) Officers during annual community events. Completed child fingerprint cards are given to the parent/guardian of the child and should be kept with the child’s personal records. Dates and times of community child identification events are advertised via local media services. This service is provided to the public free of charge.
For more information regarding our Child Identification Program, contact Deputy Larry M. Funk at 1-540-635-0399 or via e-mail This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
TRIAD / S.A.L.T. Council
The Warren County Sheriff’s Office involvement with the Front Royal/Warren Co. TRIAD Council began in 2001. Our Sheriff’s Office provides a deputy representative to attend monthly meetings and assist with fundraising and other program support.
The concept of TRIAD equates to the following three tiers or triangle of service to the senior citizen community:
- Senior Citizen involvement as active members of the council. Seniors are provided with the opportunity to directly participate in any or all of the meetings and all decision making processes.
- Law Enforcement involvement provides crime prevention education regarding awareness and prevention of scams, property crimes, fraud, community safety, and home security strategies.
- Support Agencies, Organizations, and Community Partners all function as a combined consultant base and or providers of senior support services within the North Western Virginia Area. Examples of these include Churches, Warren Co. Social Services, Warren Co. Senior Center, Home Instead, and Shenandoah Area Agency on Aging.
The continued success of the Front Royal/Warren County TRIAD/S.A.L.T. Council is directly related to the cooperative efforts of the three entities listed above.

S.A.L.T. (Seniors and Law Enforcement Together) remains a vital affiliate of the TRIAD concept “providing a safety net” for many of our most venerable senior citizens. The positive relationship that is fostered between senior citizens and law enforcement is invaluable.
The Warren County Sheriff’s Office maintains involvement in TRIAD / S.A.L.T. by providing deputy support and assists by applying for grant funding for Project Life-Line and Auto-Dialer programs. Project Life-Line and the Auto-Dialer System provides essential services to those senior citizens who live alone and are susceptible to falls within or outside of their homes, or senior citizens having other special medical conditions that require special monitoring. Life-line and auto-dialer devices are electronic units worn by senior citizens that are easily accessed in an emergency.
Project Life-Line or Auto-Dialer applicant processing is accomplished at the Shenandoah Area Agency on Aging, at 207 Mosby Lane, Front Royal. Shenandoah Area Agency on Aging can be reached by email at Go to http://www.shenandoahaaa.com/ or by calling 1-540-635-7141.
