Are deputies required to call for a supervisor upon civilian request?
All deputies within the Cherokee County Sheriff's Office are required by policy to request a supervisor when one has been requested. If there is no supervisor available, a local agency may be contacted to assist with the supervisor request. It must also be noted that a local agency's supervisor does not have the same power over a CCSO deputy compared to a supervisor with the CCSO.

Whichever deputy holds the highest rank during a shift is considered the Watch Commander. If there is no deputy who holds the rank of Sergeant I or higher on duty, then there is no Watch Commander present during that shift.

Should I request a deputy's callsign or badge number?
Deputies have requirements laid out in their policies on what to provide to you in the case you request for them to identify. In most cases, the deputy is to provide their last name and badge number to you. The CCSO recommends that you obtain the deputy's badge number over their callsign because their badge number will not change with promotions/demotions.
