Deputy Sheriffs enforce laws, investigate crimes, and maintain public order, but they do not typically serve as personal bodyguards for private individuals unless in special circumstances related to their official duties.
Upon arriving at a crime scene, the priority is to secure the area to prevent contamination and preserve any potential evidence.
Deputy Sheriffs are often responsible for maintaining security in courtrooms and ensuring the safe transportation of prisoners to and from court proceedings.
In domestic disturbance calls, Deputy Sheriffs must ensure the safety of everyone involved, mediate the situation, and take appropriate actions based on the circumstances.
Community policing involves Deputy Sheriffs actively engaging with residents to build trust, address concerns, and work collaboratively to improve public safety.
