The Ste. Genevieve County Sheriff's Office currently has 20 Patrol Personnel.

The 20 Patrol Personnel include the Patrol Commander, Staff Sergeant, Squad A Sergeant and Squad B Sergeant.  Each Squad Sergeant is responsible for 6 Patrol Deputies. Each squad also has a K-9 attached.  Each K-9 is certified in narcotics, article search, building search, handler protection. Also attached is paper service for the courts and animal control, with each unit having one Deputy that is mainly responsible for these tasks.   We also have two deputies currently detached to other agencies for specialized enforcement.  

For more on the Animal Control Deputy, please see the Animal Control tab.

Each Road Patrol Deputy is assigned their own patrol vehicle. Since their patrol cars are basically their office area, we assign everything they need to perform the duties that are required of them. Such items include necessary laptop computers, weapons, crime scene specific equipment, as well as all the proper forms needed for reporting purposes.

The Road Patrol fleet of vehicles consists of current production Ford, Chevrolet and Dodge products. The entire fleet is equipped with visible markings and emergency lights. Unmarked vehicles are utilized and issued as needed.

The Deputies perform a variety of tasks. We have the two main tasks we perform on a daily basis.  Patrolling and answering calls for service.  The Sheriff's Office currently patrols over 600 square miles of roads and serves close to 18,000 citizens living in our county as well as protecting and serving the individuals passing through it or visiting our county.

The Deputies are also required to take reports when crimes are reported. We handle any type of crime such as burglaries, domestic assaults, vehicles accidents, traffic violations, driving while intoxicated and numerous other kinds of reports.
