Patrol Website

The sheriff’s office patrol division currently consists of 35 sworn positions in two detachments.  Three deputies are assigned to our substations as resident deputies to serve the residents of Lincoln, Augusta and Wolf Creek.  Two of these live in or around Lincoln and Augusta.

The remaining 32 are assigned to the greater Helena Valley area and primarily serve the communities and neighborhoods around Helena, East Helena, Canyon Creek, Marysville, Birdseye, Baxendale, Lakeside, York, East & West Valley and Canyon Ferry.  Of these, Helena and East Helena have their own local police departments that the sheriff’s office works closely with.  We also operate lake patrols around Canyon Ferry Lake.

Our patrol deputies also handle prisoner transports along with fielding calls for service and performing general patrol duties and traffic enforcement.
