Patrol

Patrol is one of the core functions of the Ford County Sheriff’s Office. We have 10 deputies and 4 sergeants assigned to the patrol division. The patrol division is responsible for responding to calls for service, traffic enforcement, crime suppression, suspect apprehension, and civil process duties.

While all of our Deputies are trained to perform specialized roles for the office, we also have in-house instructors for firearms, less lethal munitions, taser, defensive tactics and child safety seat installs. All of the deputies are certified to operate the intoxilyzer test to determine breath alcohol content.
