The Patrol Division provides the regular patrols that you see around the county on a day to day basis. The primary function of the Uniform Patrol is to answer the calls for service received from our citizens, businesses and visitors. They also provide the general patrols that helps deter criminal activity all over the county. There are a number of Reserve Officers who fill in when a regular officer is not able to work their regular shift because of sickness or injury.

These Deputies are the first responders to all criminal complaints and are responsible for taking the initial reports and doing preliminary investigations.
