Special Community Anti-Crime Team
The S.C.A.T. Team consists of twelve highly trained and motivated deputies. The S.C.A.T.

The Division is involved in patrolling high crime areas, community policing initiatives, traffic enforcement, and operations that may include covert as well as overt enforcement operations targeting suspected gang problems, prostitution, street level sources of illegal drugs and weapons. The division is responsible for attending community meetings, identifying major problems of crime and disorder in the community, collecting and analyzing information from a variety of public and private resources, coordinating with other agencies and public to tailor actions suitable to community problems, and evaluating the effectiveness of those actions to determine if the problems were alleviated or minimized.
