What does a Detention Deputy do?
Being a Deputy in the Blaine County Detention Facility is a highly skilled profession for which deputies receive continual specialized training. Detention Deputies perform a long list of interesting and challenging duties daily. A typical shift may include assisting multiple inmates through the booking and/or release processes including signing inmates in and out for the work release program, assessing security classifications and processing legal and financial documents. Detention Deputies supervise inmates both in video arraignment in our facility and in the actual courtroom, control inmate safety at recreation and in their cells, transport inmates both to and from other facilities and coordinate video visitation. In addition to routine security checks, Detention Deputies are responsible for providing suicide watch every 15 minutes, meals three times a day, clothing and property exchange as necessary, and weekly hygiene supples. Deputies also ensure inmates receive medical, dental and mental health screenings through our licensed providers. Deputies on special assignment also provide courtroom and jury security for the Blaine County District, Magistrate, and Juvenile Courts in addition to their detention duties. Most importantly, our Detention Deputies provide safety and security for all the inmates, staff, visitors and citizens of Blaine County.
What does Patrol Deputy do?
The men and women assigned to the Blaine County Sheriff's Office Patrol Division perform the most visible and recognizable functions at the Sheriff's Office. Patrol Officers are commonly seen in their roles of traffic enforcement or responding to a citizen's call for assistance. You will find them behind the wheel of their patrol vehicle, looking for a lost child, aiding the victim of a crime or making our streets safer. Blaine County Patrol Deputies must respond to and successfully handle a very large variety of calls. To learn more visit our Patrol page.
