Patrol is responsible for providing basic law enforcement services to the unincorporated areas of Benton County. Patrol deputies respond to calls for service, initiate investigations, enforce traffic laws, identify criminal activity, effect arrests, respond to civil emergencies, and prepare cases for criminal prosecution. In addition to the main office in downtown Corvallis, patrol deputies utilize a substation located in Monroe (see below).
This group of deputies are highly trained professionals specializing in criminal investigation. Detectives are trained in crime scene reconstruction, evidence collection, analysis, interview and interrogation techniques, search and seizure, and warrant affidavit preparation. They are proficient in imagery, forensics, fingerprinting, and the use of the polygraph. The Law Enforcement Division maintains a crime clearance rate of over 50%, which is significantly above the national average.
