Road Patrol

Deputy Sheriffs on road patrol perform an innumerable amount of tasks, responding to calls at all hours of the day and night and all times of year. Once a call for service is received, deputies assigned to the road patrol division are the first contact citizens of this county have with the Sheriff’s Office.

Deputies are responsible for a wide variety of duties which enable them to provide the best possible service for the citizens of Washington County. As first responders deputies deal with situations as dangerous and stressful as an armed robbery or as common as a property dispute between neighbors.

Other responsibilities for deputies include conducting criminal investigations, serving warrants and subpoenas, conducting routine checks on the security of businesses and residences, performing extra patrols in known problem areas and establishing a positive rapport with the residents of our county.

Whenever called upon, road patrol deputies strive to respond quickly, professionally and intend on meeting or exceeding the public’s expectations.
