PATROL
The agency's Patrol Bureau is the most visible part of the our law enforcement services. Their distinctive green uniform and green and white vehicles patrol the entire county 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Each patrol deputy has the latest technology in both emergency and communications equipment. A deputy is the first responder to all law enforcement calls for service – which total more than 100,000 each year. In any given day, the spectrum of assistance that patrol deputies provide ranges from giving directions to full-scale emergency response. 
FRONT DESK
The sheriff's office front desk is in the lobby of the headquarters building located at 6010 Cattleridge Blvd. Sarasota. The front desk is staffed by a deputy from 7 a.m-7 p.m., 365 days a year. The men and women who work at the front desk handle phone calls and assist citizens who walk through the front doors of the agency.
