The Community, Safety, and Intelligence Division serves as the technological and community backbone of the Putnam County Sheriff’s Office. By integrating frontline community policing with advanced data analytics and technical infrastructure, the Division ensures a proactive, modern approach to public safety.
Our Core Focus Areas:
- Community-Based Policing: We provide unified leadership for our School Resource Officers (SRO), Special Patrol Officers (SPO), and Co-Response Team, fostering safe environments in our schools and across our neighborhoods.
-
School Resource Officers (SRO): We place highly trained deputies directly in our schools to enhance safety, build relationships, and support students and staff.
Our SROs serve as law enforcement officers, educators, and mentors—working closely with school administrators to maintain a safe learning environment, address incidents when they arise, and provide guidance to students. Through daily interaction, SROs foster trust, promote positive decision-making, and serve as a direct link between law enforcement and the school community.
- Intelligence & Threat Assessment: Our team monitors crime trends and emerging threats in real-time, working with local, state, and federal partners to keep our residents and businesses one step ahead.
- Communications & Technology: We manage the Office’s mission-critical technology, from radio operations and records management to our seamless coordination with the Putnam County Bureau of Emergency Services and 911 Dispatch.
