The Mecklenburg County Sheriff’s Office Field Operations Division is comprised of four shifts that cover thirty-two geographical civil process zones that cover all of Mecklenburg County. The Field Operations Division also has subsections that perform the service of specialized civil processes, that include our Civil Judgments Unit, Domestic Violence Unit, and our Field Transportation Unit.
Field Operations staff provide an additional law enforcement presence to residents of Mecklenburg County. Field Operations deputies provide a vital service to the public while working primarily as the enforcement arm of the courts.
Field Operations deputies do not answer 911 calls for service but conduct other responsibilities that are inherent to the Office of the Sheriff. Personnel assigned to Field Operations serve civil processes, domestic violence protective orders, conduct sex offender verifications, serve warrants, involuntary commitment orders and conduct traffic enforcement.
Sheriff’s Office vehicles are equipped with video cameras, radar, mobile computing terminals and thermal printers to assist deputies in performance of their duties. Field Operations are highly visible and are the public face of the organization.
