Patrol

Mission Statement: The mission of the Patrol Division is to provide protection of lives and property in Jefferson County with pride and professionalism.

A patrol deputy is responsible for investigating all types of criminal activity, making the required reports, and filing the appropriate charges in an attempt to deter criminal activity. They also apprehend violators involved in criminal activities and target potential areas of such activities to enhance enforcement efforts. Patrol deputies also enforce all traffic laws within Jefferson County in an attempt to make our roadways safer. Jefferson County is approximately 975 square miles and divided into three districts. The Deputy Sheriff is assigned to a district of the county to preserve law and order, respond to, investigate, and provide written reports for a wide variety of emergency and non-emergency calls, misdemeanor, and felony allegations. The deputy may have to provide court testimony as needed.
