The majority of Warren County's uniformed deputies are assigned to one of the units of the Patrol Division. Major John Newsom commands the Patrol Division. Major Newsom has overall responsibility for seeing that Warren County is adequately patrolled and that the services the Sheriff provides to the courts are adequate. As Warren County grows, this becomes more of a challenge when schedules need to be balanced to provide training, vacation and other planned and unplanned vacancies as they occur in the daily roster.
The County Road Patrol is responsible for the welfare of persons and property throughout the 408 square miles that comprise Warren County. The Road Patrol actively patrols approximately two-thirds of that total. The local police agencies of Warren County's various cities, towns, villages and townships patrol their respective jurisdictions. There is a high degree of professional cooperation between the agencies. Deputies and officers frequently assist on radio calls.

Twenty six deputies working three shifts staff the five patrol districts. Lieutenants Mark Hatfield, Brian Tinch, and Mark Worley command each of the three shifts assisted by a sergeant. Because of the growing number of calls for service in Warren County, supervisors frequently are assigned to districts in addition to their supervisory duties.
The Warren County Sheriff's Office has continued to progress every year, and 2003 was no exception. All patrol cars are now equipped with basic crime scene processing equipment to include digital cameras. Also, with two busy interstates running through Warren County and a few chemical producing plants, the Sheriff's Office has equipped each deputy with a protective mask for working in a potentially volatile chemical environment in the event of a leak or spill.
In response to the growing concerns and dangers of high speed police pursuits, each Sheriff's patrol car is now equipped with Stop Sticks, a tire deflation device to be used on suspect's vehicles. These devices have been deployed successfully on several occasions that have enabled us to bring these potentially deadly pursuits to a safe and successful ending without unnecessary injuries.
