Abstract
The majority of research regarding community-oriented policing (COP) has focused on municipal police agencies. Conspicuously missing is information with respect to community policing in sheriff's offices. The present study examines the perceptions of deputies in a sheriff's office located in the south-eastern United States. The findings lend general support to Falcone and Wells' hypothesis that sheriff's offices are by their very nature interactive with and accountable to their community. Theoretically, it is within this type of organizational context that COP may find the most support.
