Patrol
The Patrol Division is considered the backbone of the Nolan County Sheriff's Office and is the most visible.
Under the command of the Chief Deputy and a Patrol Sergeant, the responsibility of this division is to maintain a safe and orderly environment for citizens and visitors alike. The Patrol Division is charged with the coverage of approximately 914 square miles of rural county area including over 1,000 linear miles of improved county roads, lakes, residences and businesses located outside the incorporated city limits of Sweetwater and Roscoe.
Deputies assigned to the Patrol Division provide patrols, emergency response, traffic enforcement, drug interdiction, courthouse security, civil process service, criminal investigations and warrant executions. Deputies also handle county jail inmate transports to and from the court system or facilities operated by the State or other counties; they routinely handle juvenile and mental health transports to and from various facilities throughout the State and Region and during a critical situation in the jail, they provide additional manpower or security.
For this array of reasons, the deputies must have in-depth knowledge of the law and be well-rounded law enforcement officers in order to provide the best service possible. When assistance is requested, the deputy responding will most likely be a member of the patrol section.
​
Fleet Vehicle Program​
The Sheriff's Office maintains a program, commonly referred to as a "take home fleet vehicle program," whereby each deputy is assigned a distinctly marked patrol unit. This program has been highly successful in the reduction of overall vehicle maintenance costs. Sheriff's patrol vehicles are visible throughout the Nolan County communities where the deputies reside. The program allows rapid deployment of deputies during man made or natural emergencies, thereby increasing the Sheriff's patrol presence in the county.
​
Vehicles​
The office is presently utilizing Chevrolet Tahoe Police Pursuit Vehicles, which have been specifically ordered in a Silver Ice Metallic color. These vehicles are adorned with green and gold reflective decals, along with 5-star badges for enhanced visibility. Each vehicle prominently features the designation "Nolan County Sheriff" and includes unique vehicle numbers that serve to identify all patrol units operated within the county.
