WELCOME TO THE CLEVELAND COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE WEBSITE

Our mission is to maintain a high quality of life for all residents and visitors of Cleveland County, by providing competent and professional Law Enforcement Services and Detention Facilities, while working in partnership with our citizens to develop policing services to meet the unique needs of the community, while ensuring fairness, equal treatment and protection to all. 

OUR SERVICES

Detention

The Cleveland County Sheriff’s Office Detention Division consists of two facilities, The Cleveland County Detention Center and the Law Enforcement Detention Center. Both facilities are manned twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week.

Law Enforcement

The Patrol Division's primary responsibility is to respond to calls for service in the unincorporated areas and small municipalities of the 485 square mile county. This responsibility includes conducting preliminary criminal investigations and the enforcement of North Carolina General Statues.

Civil Services

The Civil Division of the Sheriff’s Office currently falls under the command of the Administrative Captain. This unit is responsible for the service and execution of various processes issued by and for the Courts of North Carolina.

Court Security

Court security is an essential function of the Sheriff's Office. These officers maintain security of the courtrooms by serving as a bailiff while court is in session. They also are responsible for serving warrants, manning the X-ray machine and metal detectors which are located at the front door of the courthouse.

Victim Services

Our mission is to improve our community by working to meet the varying needs of crime victims, protecting the rights of victims, and providing a safe place for victims to receive support, education, and appropriate referrals. Victims of crime respond to trauma in different ways and have different needs.

Training and Recruitment

The Sheriff’s Office hires highly motivated men and women who enjoy working with the public. We emphasize training and skill development well in excess of State certification requirements. Each new deputy is required to go through a comprehensive field training for a minimum of 12 weeks.

Good job! Thanks for all you do.

Great work CCSO!!!!

Nate, there you go.

Cleveland County Sheriff's Office Cleveland County Government I dont blame the County Government from blocking comments, but you guys seriously need to go back and review body Cam from both employees. I'm not sure if these guys dont know Terry v Ohio or just playing dumb, but I'd wager thier training certs from the academy and annual training show they have. Both are a lawsuit waiting to happen. And honestly, I could easily get rich off these two guys from constitutional violations. Its in the open now, you cant unsee it nor refute it in court youtu.be/--OGBZXhoc4?si=5iczrtClorTxO61E

Fucking bullshit!!!!!

The Cleveland County Sheriffs Office would like to make this year a great experience for everyone! Here are a few reminders before you head out for vinegar fries and Ferris wheel rides:

1. No firearms or weapons are allowed on the property.
2. No drugs or alcohol.
3. Children eighth grade age and lower should be accompanied by an adult.
4. Take a picture of your child before entering the fair so you can provide an accurate photograph to deputies if you become separated.
5. Registered Sex Offenders are not allowed on the property while the fair is being conducted.

With those things in mind, stop by and say hey to a deputy. We look forward to meeting you and having a great time at the Cleveland County Fair!

This video sure makes your department look like a bunch of cousin marrying, window licking, short bus riding morons! I'm all for employing the mentally challenged, but for Gods sake don't let them be cops! They don't have the IQ for it! These two should be the poster boys for Dunkin Donuts! If it was raining brains tweedledee and tweedledum here couldn't get wet enough to form an intelligent thought. They must have been classified as "special needs" kids! youtube.com/shorts/F02Zu0MdVlE?si=zeMfMcv4Ow3zuj9t
