Houston Harris Patrol Division

The Patrol Division, in addition to being the largest, is the most visible part of the Constable's Office. The duties of the patrol division include high profile marked patrol, emergency and non-emergency response to calls for service, on scene and follow-up investigations, crime prevention and traffic enforcement.

In addition to the public roadways and district patrol services, our deputies are responsible for law enforcement in the County Parks, the Hardy and Sam Houston Toll roads and Cy-Fair ISD school facilities. Many subdivisions opt to participate in the Contract Deputy Program as a way to supplement existing law enforcement services, which accounts for the majority of our uniformed personnel - deputies who would otherwise not be on patrol.

The Patrol Division operates out of six substations located throughout the precinct and consists primarily of motorized patrol via patrol cars, motorcycles, and ATVs. In addition to motorized patrol, our Bicycle Patrol, provides law enforcement services to areas that are inaccessible via motorized patrol.
