McClain County Patrol Division

The patrol division is the largest division at the McClain County Sheriff's Office; the Patrol Division is responsible for patrolling nearly 580 square miles. Our deputies provide 24-hour law enforcement to over 34,000 residents of McClain County. They emphasize patrolling outside of municipal areas, which have their own police department. However, sometimes they are requested by county residents for services for which we will respond.

Our patrol deputies are highly trained and eager to provide excellent law enforcement services for all McClain County inhabitants. Our patrol deputies are seasoned law enforcement professionals with hundreds of hours of training and years of experience. They provide exceptional service when called on by the public and self-initiated activity.
