Deputy Sheriff personnel answer calls for service, prevent and detect crime, protect life and property and apprehend offenders. The Patrol Unit is made up of four shifts. Each shift has one Lieutenant and one Sergeant along with the deputies. The responsibility of this unit is to serve, to protect, and to maintain a safe and orderly environment for the citizens and visitors in all areas of Franklin County. The Uniformed Patrol Unit provides law enforcement protection 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
