OUR MISSION:
"To make a positive difference for members of our  community  by seeking and finding ways to  affirmatively promote, preserve and deliver security,   safety  and quality service."



There are currently 9 deputies and 10 part-time reserve deputies which constitutes the core
of the Columbia County Sheriff's Office.  In addition to their regular patrol and law enforcement
duties, many of the members of the Columbia County Sheriff's Office also perform other
necessary and vital functions to better serve the community.  Some of the activities and
sub-divisions are outlined below.

TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENT

The Columbia County Sheriff's Office utilizes
the four-wheel drive Jeep Liberty as the patrol
vehicle of choice.  The six-cylinder vehicle
provides the right balance of fuel economy and
performance necessary to effectively patrol the
872 miles of roadways within the county.

Shift supervisors utilize the larger Ford Expedition
SUV that can be used as a command post in the
event of an emergency.  

We also have two Ford Crown Victoria patrol cars in our fleet, which are being retired soon.  

SPEED TRAILER

Our speed trailer was built for us by students of
the Dayton High School Ag. Metals class.  Used in
conjuction with active traffic enforcement techniques,
the trailer is a vital part of keeping the roadways in and
around Dayton safe for everyone to use and enjoy.







OFF-ROAD PATROL

Depending upon the terrain and weather conditions, members of the Columbia County Sheriff's Office utilize two snowmobiles, two quad-runner ATV's or a Snow Cat for the purpose of mountain patrol, cabin security checks, and for search and rescue operations.
