Specialized Subdivisions of the Sheriff's Office
Within the Blaine County Sheriff’s Office, a number of subdivisions have been created over the years to address certain law enforcement and community needs within the area. These units are comprised of full-time and reserve deputies that conduct initial and on-going training in their areas of expertise. Each subdivision has its own leadership team that oversees the day-to-day operations of their unit and ensures their personnel are acting within the guidelines and duties set forth and are utilizing the resources allotted to them properly and in the best interest of the general public. Some subdivisions also have subbranches and certifications that expand their knowledge and abilities to better serve their colleagues and the community.
