Because Delaware County government is an organization with 15 different and autonomous elected officials, there is not one central point of contact to reach all of them. A Public Information Officer (or other staff member) for one office cannot answer questions on behalf of another office. Not every office or agency has a PIO, but these are the ones that do in Delaware County:
| Office/Agency | Contact |
| The Board of Commissioners and the departments that report to the Board: Human Resources, Child Support Enforcement Agency, Code Compliance, Economic Development, Emergency Communications (aka 9-1-1 Center), Emergency Medical Services, Facilities Management, Fiscal Services (which is different than the Auditor’s Office), Job and Family Services, Regional Sewer District | Jane Hawes, 740-833-2109, jhawes@co.delaware.oh.us |
| Sheriff’s Office | Tracy Whited, 740-833-2817, sheriffinfo@co.delaware.oh.us |
| Prosecutor’s Office | Brandi Orsini, 740-833-2755, borsini@co.delaware.oh.us |
For all other offices, you are advised to directly contact the elected official who heads it or their senior-most staff member. These would include:

Public Records Requests: The contacts listed above would be your best starting point if you need to make a public records request of an office. Requests can be submitted as formally as written/printed communication (email, mail, text) or as informally as a phone call or an in-person request. But making a request in some form that is preserved can be helpful for your own record keeping. Our offices will create their own record of the request.
