Patrol Division 

The patrol division has two primary functions: one is to respond to all complaints about criminal activity, civil issues, and emergencies, and the other is to patrol the physical boundaries of Haralson County. Deputies in the patrol division work 12-hour shifts on rotation, and their primary duty is to patrol roads in Haralson and stop motorists who violate traffic laws.  

Special Operations Division 

The special operations division deals with courthouse security, sex offender registry, civil division, interdiction, and crime suppression.  The division assigns bailiffs and deputies to provide security in the superior, probate, magistrate, and juvenile court during court sessions. Deputies in the courthouse also assist in taking fingerprints for gun permits and court purposes. The special operation through the civil division serves paperwork for the courts and other jurisdictions. Paperwork may include eviction notices and judgments rendered by the courts.
