Because of the diversity in the duties placed upon the Office of the Sheriff, which differ from that of a police department, a wide variety of resources and personnel must be utilized. The Carroll County Sheriff's Office has two primary divisions, Law Enforcement and Jail with each of these being subdivided into different operational divisions and units. The Law Enforcement Division is primarily responsible for Patrol, Investigations, Court Services, Traffic Enforcement, and other units necessary and falls under the direction of Major Craig Dodson.
