The average squad numbers 8 to include the supervisors. Deputies assigned to these squads work 12 hour shifts in a seven days on seven days off rotation.

Personnel assigned to these squads serve as the agencies "first responders" to calls for service. On arrival at a call for service the responding Deputy assess the situation and takes appropriate action to resolve the issue. This action comes in many forms.
