The Itasca County Sheriff's Office has 64 employees working as Jailers, Dispatchers, Clerical and Road Deputies. The Sheriff's Office has divided the county into 5 patrol districts.
Deputies live and work within their assigned patrol district.
This is a concept of community policing that Itasca County implemented many years ago. The Sheriff's Office is supported in their duties by the Itasca County Sheriff's Posse and the Itasca County Dive Team. These two groups are highly trained volunteers who contribute their time to search for lost persons, recover drowning victims and provide their time to community service work. Currently the Itasca County Jail is running at full capacity. Applications are available through the Itasca County Sheriff's Civil Service Commission.
