Patrol Division

The Milam County Sheriff's Office Patrol Division is comprised of Criminal Interdiction units and Traffic Interdiction units: 

Eight (8) Patrol Deputies are dedicated to answering our calls for service,  these daily calls can range from some of the simplest calls such as a cow on the side of the road to the worst of calls like sexual assault or homicide.  The Milam County Sheriff's Office averages approximately 675 calls for service each month or twenty-two calls each day, which keep our deputies moving from one call to the next.  When not answering calls for service, our deputies are tasked with actively engaging in criminal interdiction (searching for criminal activity) on our county roadways. 

Our deputies provide a presence on our county roads in order to locate and identify suspicious activity or thieves.  Additionally, these same deputies are tasked with conducting criminal and drug interdiction on the highways throughout Milam County.  The Sheriff's Office has located numerous criminals, drug dealers, and fugitives traveling our county highways, and we will continue that effort. 

Two (2) Traffic Deputies have the primary responsibility of enforcing traffic laws and conducting criminal and drug interdiction on Milam County roads.  These deputies are also responsible for assisting in answering calls for service when other deputies are unavailable.
