Patrol

The Marion County Sheriff's Department's Patrol Division is overseen by our Chief Deputy and consists of a Patrol Lieutenant who assists the department with administrative duties related to the Patrol Division, and a Patrol Sergeant who supervises nine full-time deputies to include a K9 handler and his K9, Rico.

The patrol division not only covers the entire county but also consists of a "metro division", which provides the primary law enforcement response for the city of Yellville. The patrol division covers the county 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and 365 days a year.

The responsibilities of the Patrol division include traffic and criminal law enforcement; county ordinance enforcement; answering calls for service; welfare checks; property checks; transporting prisoners; serving civil papers for courts and attorneys; and court bailiff assignments. The department provides marine patrol on Bull Shoals Lake on a regular basis. The department is equipped with a watercraft which can also be used for water rescue operations.
