Deputies assigned to Uniform Patrol also handle proactive patrol, traffic enforcement, accident investigation, funeral escorts, and general calls for service. 

Uniform Patrol deputies generally initiate reports of alleged criminal activity. Those reports are forwarded to the Criminal Investigations Division, where investigators begin the process of determining the validity of the reported incident and whether a crime was committed.

Uniform Patrol deputies are the first responders to both emergency and non-emergency calls in unincorporated areas of Habersham County.

Each of the four shifts is overseen by a lieutenant who serves as watch commander.
