Field Operations
Twenty two deputies are assigned to field operations
within the Cass County Sheriffs Office. These deputies
are the most visible to the general public as their
duties take them into our communities on a daily basis.
These officers are assigned to Civil Process, Investigations,
Warrants, Patrol, and Transportation.
Adopt-a-Community" is a community policing program which assigns a deputy sheriff to a community which does not have a police department. The officer assigned attends city council meetings, fire department meetings, school functions, community gatherings, etc. and in effect becomes "their officer". The community and the officer build a trust which allows a greater exchange of information and ultimately a safer community in which to live.
As a participant of the In the State Shuttle System which covers the entire northwest section of the United States; our office has seen a significant reduction in the cost to taxpayers for transportation of wanted subjects. The shuttle system utilizes deputy sheriffs throughout the region to transports prisoners from one location to another to form a giant transportation network. Each small link move the wanted person from state to state until they arrive at their final destination.
Deputies are also assigned to multi-jurisdictional task forces, the Federal Drug Task Force and the Fargo-Moorhead Gang Task Force.
