The Road Patrol Division of the Sheriff's Office is the most visible of all the divisions. We provide 24 hour coverage seven days a week with nineteen Road Patrol Deputies. Steuben County is vast covering 1408 square miles - over 300 square miles larger than the State of Rhode Island.  Steuben County is broken down into four zones with two substations to compliment our main base at Bath, New York.

Our Department's vehicle fleet has become diversified with the acquisition of four-wheel drive vehicles to augment its familiar red and white sedans.  Deputies can now reduce response times to critical calls located on snow bound and seasonal roads. 

In addition to handling emergency and non-emergency complaints, deputies handle thousands of calls of public service including property checks of cottages, seasonal camps and businesses.  They also investigate crimes and assist the Criminal Investigations Unit with investigations, conduct pistol permit application investigations and serve warrants and civil process papers.

In addition to their regular duties, some deputies are assigned technical duties such as Fleet Managers, Field Training Coordinators, DWI Coordinators, Traffic Safety Coordinators, Firearms and General Topic Instructors, Child Safety Seat Technicians, Commercial Vehicle Enforcement, and Automated Defibrillator trained. 

Deputies also conduct child safety seat educational details and bicycle rodeos where the proper instruction of wearing bicycle helmets is instilled.  (Child safety seats and bike helmets are given periodically at a pre-arranged session in conjunction with the County Public Health Nursing.)

Deputies provide security for the LPGA Corning Classic which is held each May in Corning, New York and the Steuben County Fair in August in Bath, New York.
