The Patrol Headquarters building is located in Jefferson Township at 555 Infirmary Road, Dayton, Ohio 45427, (937) 225-4177.  In addition to patrolling the unincorporated area of Montgomery County, personnel assigned to Patrol Headquarters are also responsible for a variety of the Operations Division’s support functions.  Some examples of those support positions include, Evidence Technicians (crime scene investigators), DARE instructors (Drug Abuse Resistance Education) and civil process.

Traffic Services  

The Traffic Services Unit is managed from Patrol Headquarters and is responsible to oversee the implementation of traffic programs, investigate traffic crashes and traffic law enforcement with an emphasis on reducing injuries and fatalities that result from traffic crashes.  The unit provides assistance to other law enforcement agencies in the investigation of serious traffic crashes, including traffic crash reconstruction. 

The latest addition to the Traffic Services Unit is a van equipped with portable scales that deputies use to weigh trucks suspected of exceeding the established weight limits for highways and bridges.

The DARE program at the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office consists of full-time Deputies assigned to community education, whose responsibilities include providing the DARE curriculum to area schools, adult drug education, general safety topics to various age groups as well as other community education programs. 

The DARE program consists of several different age-specific programs that together help toward developing a drug and violence free generation.  The core curriculum is targeted at the 4th and 5th grade level, which is the heart and soul of the program.  The Junior High curriculum is taught in the 7th or 8th grade, depending on the school system. 

Community education deputies provide services for school safety patrols and  observe school bus loading and unloading.  They also set-up educational displays at events, such as community parades and the Montgomery County Fair, using such characters as McGruff--the Crime Dog, Safety Pup, and Daren the Lion.  For additional information about the DARE program or other educational programs call (937) 225-4913.
