History
Grand Isle County is located in the northwest region of Vermont and is comprised of five townships - Alburgh, Ilse Lamotte, Grand Isle, North and South Hero. With 7,000 full-time residents, during the summer months the county population swells with seasonal vacationers. It is Vermont's only water surrounded county with 195 square miles and the towns connected by bridges.
Grand Isle County is home to five VT state parks and features over 100 square miles of boating and fishing on Lake Champlain. The county was created in 1802, and the first Sheriff was appointed in 1805.
The Grand Isle County Sheriff's Department is located in the town of Grand Isle and provides primary county law enforcement to include patrol, marine response, and search and rescue services.
