The Cass County Sheriff’s Office Patrol Division is comprised of 37 full-time patrol staff, including 3 Sergeants. The Patrol Division responds to calls for service 24 hours a day on incidents such as medicals, alarms, vehicle crashes, motorist assists, domestic disputes, traffic complaints, as well as property offenses, burglaries and fraud. The Division is also responsible for protecting the citizens and visitors of Cass County, as well as their property, through proactive patrol and traffic enforcement to prevent and deter crime.

The Sheriff’s Office promotes this practice through the patrol of three geographically assigned areas of the County known as North, Central and South. The division also provides specialized services such as K-9, the Emergency Response Unit, Court Security, Honor Guard and numerous instructorships in multiple areas of training and specializations. A school resource officer is assigned to the Pillager School District. The Sheriff's Office contracts with 3 communities (Cass Lake, Backus and Longville) for law enforcement and patrol services.
