The
Community Patrol Division is tasked with being the first responders to
most criminal activity within the unincorporated portions of Pitt
County and the municipalities without a police department. These
deputies are typically in marked patrol vehicles and are assigned to a
particular section of the county to patrol. Duties include answering
calls for service from the public which could range anywhere from
routine calls to emergencies. Deputies are also responsible for the
service of criminal and civil papers within their assigned sections.
There are currently eight patrol sections within the county. Each
shift has a deputy assigned to patrol each of the sections. The shift
is supervised by a sergeant who provides backup and guidance to each
of the deputies. The county is also divided into three districts,
each of which is supervised by a captain. A district consists of 2-3
of the patrol sections.
Another
assignment within the community patrol division is that of a property
crimes detective. The detectives investigate and follow up on
property crimes such as burglaries, industrial break-ins, and arson.
The
domestic violence unit is also within the community patrol division.
This unit is tasked with the investigation and follow-up of crimes
involving assaults and disputes of a domestic nature. This unit
consists of four uniformed deputies and a sergeant. Each of the
deputies is assigned to a patrol shift in order to provide round the
clock coverage for the county.
There
are two additional sergeants within the community patrol division each
with different duties. The first is a relief sergeant that serves as
a backup in case a shift sergeant is not available. His duties also
include the coordination and scheduling of special events such as the
fair, ECU ballgames, funeral escorts, etc. He is also responsible for
scheduling and supervision of the off-duty contract assignments for
the entire agency.
The
second sergeant is our agency training sergeant. His duties include
the scheduling, coordination, and implementation of training within
the entire agency. He is also responsible for the issuance of weapons
and ammunition.
The
community patrol division also assigns two deputies to provide
security services to the county office building and two deputies for
the Pitt Greenville airport.
