Westmoreland is the county seat, so the Justice Center is there, though Wamego and St. Marys along the Kansas River are larger. Families from the south end of the county should plan a drive north for bond or on-site visits.

The KBI list shows the sheriff plus police in Wamego (408 Elm St., 785-456-9553), St. Marys (200 S. 7th St., 785-437-2311), St. George (214 E. 1st St., 785-494-2556) and a department serving Onaga and Havensville (785-456-3176). Their adult arrests come to Westmoreland.
