About Stewart County Sheriff’s Office 

The Stewart County Sheriff’s Office is a public service organization that serves Stewart County with law enforcement, civil, and correctional services.

The majors are in charge of the divisions that perform different responsibilities within the office. 

The patrol division has uniformed deputies who patrol the unincorporated areas of Stewart County, respond to emergency calls, investigate crime, make arrests, provide preventive patrol, and render assistance or aid where necessary. The patrol division has several units, such as the K-9 unit, swat, and traffic. 

The investigation division handles follow-up investigations to cases that warrant further investigation beyond what the patrol division provides. The investigators serve search warrants and arrest warrants, investigate missing persons, recover stolen property, gather forensic evidence, maintain evidence, process evidence, interview victim and witnesses, and interrogate suspects.
