Enforcement Staff

Chief Deputy Chad Willett

Chief Deputy Chad Willett is the second-in-command of the Sheriff’s Department, and in the absence of the Sheriff, acts on his behalf. He has authority over all areas, but just as with the Sheriff, functions through the chain of command.

The Enforcement Division of the Noble County Sheriff’s Department has the responsibility of enforcing the laws of the state, both criminal and traffic, throughout Noble County. Enforcement support is provided to other local police departments when requested.

 

The Enforcement Division is comprised of 19 sworn officers, which are divided into various areas of responsibility, serving the community around the clock, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Due to the number of deputies actually on duty at any given time, it is sometimes necessary to prioritize calls for an officer’s response based upon the severity and number of calls received.

Each officer must complete a 40 hour pre-basic training course and maintain a minimum of 16 hours of approved in-service training each year.
