• 24/7 Protection: Residents have access to around-the-clock police protection, emergency response, and law enforcement support.

• Community Policing: Deputies work closely with township officials and residents to maintain safety, respond to concerns, and deter crime through visible patrol and engagement.

• Traffic Enforcement & Accident Response: The Sheriff's Office handles traffic violations, assists with accidents, and ensures road safety throughout the township.

• Criminal Investigations: From theft to more serious crimes, the Sheriff’s Office investigates incidents, processes evidence, and follows through with charges when appropriate.

• Liaison to County Resources: As part of the county-wide system, deputies have access to specialized units and broader law enforcement resources that benefit the township when needed.
