Unless otherwise posted, speed limits on County roads are 30 mph if gravel, and 40 mph if paved. The Traffic Enforcement Unit was created in 2001 with the addition of one deputy whose duties were to selectively enforce traffic laws (Selective Traffic Enforcement Program) based on citizen complaints of traffic violations and areas that have a high amount of traffic accidents. The Traffic Unit has since grown into a three man unit. The Traffic Unit is supervised by Sgt Cavin Riggs, who also supervises the School Resource Officers.
Responsibilities of the School Resource Officers include investigating criminal offenses that occur on campus as well as providing educational programs for students. The Wise County S.O. currently services the Alvord ISD, Chico ISD, Paradise ISD & Slidell ISD. The Sheriff's Department provides services for the youth of Wise County including school resource officers, the Together Against Drug Abuse program, as well as other youth oriented programs. Together Against Drug Abuse program It is the belief of the Wise County Sheriff’s Department and Sheriff David Walker, that when it comes to the ever-increasing rate of juvenile crime, early intervention is the first step to prevention. To this Sheriff Walker would like to inform you about the Together Against Drug Abuse Program.
