The Administrative Services Division provides business and technical support to other divisions within the Sheriff’s Office while simultaneously serving the citizens of Laurens County through designated functions and programs assigned the division. The Administrative Services Division is comprised of sworn and civilian staff who are committed to excellence as they are acutely aware of the important responsibilities they perform which directly affect the quality of life that our citizens experience and the ability of Sheriff’s Office personnel to effectively and competently perform their jobs.
The Administrative Services Division is also responsible for the preparation, tracking and management of the Sheriff’s Office annual budget, purchasing/procurement, accounts payable/receivable, and payroll in addition to meeting the supply, logistics and equipment maintenance requirements of the Sheriff's Office.

The Jail Division is responsible for the administrative functions within its division. Another function of the Administrative Division is to provide oversight for any internal affairs investigations that may arise. Internal Affairs is responsible for investigating allegations of improper conduct or policy violations involving Sheriff’s Office Staff. These “administrative investigations” are conducted independent of any criminal investigations into the same matter. The administrative investigation allows the office to police its own members and identify, correct or improve any behavioral, systems or policy matters.The Internal Affairs process is invaluable for instilling public confidence and assisting command staff in promoting ethics and professionalism throughout the office as well as in its members. The Administrative Services Division is responsible for the recruitment and selection of personnel for the law enforcement and civilian components of the Sheriff's Office. This division also maintains the personnel records of all employees and ensures that every deputy sheriff completes the mandated training requirements as set forth by State and Federal Law and the South Carolina Criminal Justice Academy. This training includes the use of firearms, taser electronic control devices, bloodborne pathogens, radar operation, Interpersonal Communications, Datamaster, defensive tactics, defensive driving course and CPR/Standard First Aid. Advanced training is provided for those deputies working in specialized units. The Laurens County Sheriff’s Office strives to provide the best possible training for deputies to protect themselves and the citizens of Laurens County from harm. The Administrative Services Division has the primary responsibility for the control, maintenance, retrieval, and distribution of Sheriff's Office records and related state reporting. The staff is also responsible for expungements. The Civil Process Unit is also located within the Administrative Services Division of the Laurens County Sheriff's Office and is responsible for process service, evictions and court issued orders. |
