Departments

Patrol Division

Our patrol deputies are the front line of public safety in Barbour County. Working around the clock, they respond to emergencies, patrol our towns and rural roads, enforce the law, and are usually the first to arrive when a resident calls for help. Patrol is led by our shift sergeants across Clayton, Clio, Louisville, and the county’s unincorporated communities.

Criminal Investigations

When a case needs deeper follow-up, our investigators take it from there. This unit handles felony offenses — burglaries, robberies, assaults, and other serious crimes — gathering evidence, interviewing witnesses, and working with the District Attorney’s Office to hold offenders accountable.

County Jail

The Barbour County Jail houses individuals awaiting trial and those serving sentences. Our corrections staff oversee daily operations and inmate safety, while partners like Pay Tel and Inmate Canteen help families stay connected through phone, messaging, video visitation, and commissary support
