The Patrol Division is the most visible division and perform functions that most people associate with law enforcement. Those are the deputies out in the field answering calls for service, conducting criminal investigations, business checks, serving civil papers, enforcing traffic laws and making on-view criminal arrests. The K9 Unit, Investigations, and Resource Deputy are all assigned to the Patrol Division. The Sheriff’s Office Patrol Division is the only 24 hour a day, 7 days a week law enforcement agency within Montgomery County. The Patrol Division responds to calls for service through the rural areas of the county and communities when municipal law enforcement officers are busy or not on-duty.
