DIVISIONS | PATROL
Our dedicated team of nearly two dozen patrol deputies is available around the clock to handle any calls that come in, whether it’s day or night.
From responding to active shooters to investigating robberies, their priority is to answer every call for service in a timely and efficient manner. By actively engaging with community members and establish rapport, the Wasatch County patrol deputies build and maintain strong relationships with citizens.
Additionally, they often handle civil service requests, including serving court paperwork. They also work tirelessly to document all encounters, ensuring accurate records and reporting.
A key part of every patrol deputy’s role is taking a proactive approach to law enforcement, particularly in the following areas:
01
Domestic Violence
Our patrol deputies are committed to addressing and preventing domestic violence incidents, ensuring the safety and well-being of our community members.
02
Protective Order Violations
Patrol deputies prioritize enforcing protective orders, providing a sense of security to those who have sought legal protection.

Warrants
They actively pursue individuals with outstanding warrants, promoting lawfulness and maintaining public safety.
To ensure our deputies are prepared to handle any situation, they undergo continuous training in a variety of scenarios. These training sessions incorporate both virtual and hands-on exercises, allowing them to work through specific challenges and improve their response strategies. They dedicate 10 hours of every 80-hour work cycle to training.
Most of our patrol deputies are also certified C.I.T. officers. They maintain the same responsibilities but are usually assigned to handle situations involving individuals experiencing mental health crises.
A C.I.T. Officer receives broad and generalized training in identifying characteristics of various mental disorders that are commonly presented in law enforcement and corrections settings. They are prepared to provide a safe intervention for the person in crises, as well as their family and the community.
