The patrol division of the
Page
County Sheriff's Office is the one that most citizens
visualize when they think of the function of the Sheriff's
Office. The patrol division consists of two teams, each
team has a Lieutenant, Sergeant, Corporal and several Deputies that
are seen on the roads throughout the county on a daily
basis.
Since the inauguration of Sheriff Presgraves, the county has been divided into three separate sectors. A deputy on each shift is assigned
to remain in one of the sectors during their shift. The sectoring program ensures that deputies are spread evenly throughout the county at all times, reducing response time and ultimately helping to save lives. Perhaps the most important aspect of the sector program is that it increases law enforcement visibility all over Page County, helping to reduce and prevent crime BEFORE it happens.
The main duties of patrol deputies consist of:
enforcing laws with arrests of those charged with violations
serving criminal and civil papers in the county
performing investigative procedures regarding crime
working and investigating traffic accidents
serving as a resource for the entire community to draw upon
providing a positive image for the citizenry, especially
the young persons, of Page County
remembering at all times to be fair, just, and expedient in the exercising
their duties
If you have any suggestions about how the
Page
County Sheriff's Office can improve the effectiveness
of its patrol division, please contact the office and
let Sheriff Presgraves know. You can call (540) 743-6571
