men and women assigned to the Uniform Patrol Division
perform the most visible and recognizable functions of the
Sheriff's Office. They are the ones that respond to
your calls for assistance. You will find them in your
neighborhoods behind the wheel of a patrol car, looking for
a lost child, comforting the victim of a crime, or
questioning someone who doesn't appear to belong in your
neighborhood. Deputies assigned to the Uniform Patrol
Division are, quite often, the agency's first line of
defense in the county's largest law enforcement agency.

Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, and Delta. Deputies work a 12 hour
shift. Alpha and Bravo Platoons work day shift from 7am-7pm
while Charlie and Delta Platoon work night shift from

For operational purposes, the Sheriff's Office has divided
Spartanburg County into four policing regions. For
quicker response those regions have been divided into zones.
While each region and zone has enforcement challenges unique
to itself, all of Spartanburg County continues to experience

re-evaluate it's policies, procedures, and the way it does
business.

Sheriff's has a new tool that will allow you to see what
region and zone you live in and see what deputy works your
