Community Policing Services

COMMUNITY POLICING SERVICES

Did you know the Sheriff's Office offers a wide variety of Community Policing Services? These Community Policing Services are provided free of charge and are designed to bring about a closer relationship between you and the Sheriff's Office and to serve your needs.

Some of these services include:

Residential/Vacation Checks - Citizens can call and request that their residence be checked while they are out of town or on special occasions such as funerals. At least once per shift (3 shifts each day), a patrol car will check your residence and make sure it is secure.

Crime Surveys - Officers routinely stop at residences and interview citizens about any concerns they might have which the Sheriff's Office can follow up on. We encourage everyone to be a good neighbor and report any suspicious activity.

Welfare Checks - If you are concerned about anyone who may need any kind of help, such as children or the elderly, we will send an officer to conduct a welfare check.

Extra Patrols - Upon report of any suspicious activity, we will initiate an Extra Patrol for the area involved to concentrate on the complaint.

Speakers - Sheriff's Office Officials will be provided to any group or organization to speak and address any Law Enforcement Topic that is of a concern.

The DARE Program - We have an active Drug Abuse Resistance Education (D.A.R.E.) program in five schools throughout the county.

Operation Safe Schools - Our K-9 Units work with the schools to help deter drugs on our campuses throughout the county. Our K-9's are also used as an educational tool in the Elementary schools. This helps develop a bond between the students and Law Enforcement.

School Bus Patrols - Deputies routinely follow school buses to ensure students have a safe trip and to deter motorists from violating the bus laws.

Crime Suppression Unit - This is a specialized unit of deputies whose primary responsibility is to deter and apprehend burglars in the daytime while most of our citizens are at work.

We solicit your support and help in preserving the quality of life to which we are accustomed and making Robertson County a better place to live and raise our families. If you have any questions/suggestions or need one of these services, contact us at (615) 384-7971.
