Sheriff's Department headquarters
Badge of the Sheriff of Chester's Mill
The Chester's Mill Sheriff's Department is a law enforcement agency operating in Chester's Mill. The department was headed by Sheriff 'Duke' Perkins, from the Town Hall. The department is believed to have many Deputies employed, however, on the day the dome came down, many of them were at a Parade in Westlake, and were left on the outside, as a result the Department resources are spread thin.
The Department has struggled to maintain control within Chester's Mill due to inexperienced leadership after the demise of Sheriff Perkins, the manipulation of Second Councilman 'Big Jim'Rennie and lack of proper officers to maintain the peace.

Current Deputies[]
Sheriff Duke Perkins was against the suggestion by Second Councilman 'Big Jim' Rennie that Councilman have the power to authorize additional police officers during emergencies and claimed "The last thing this mess needs is amatures with badges". And Duke states till he hears from the Mayor or above, 'Big Jim' is not authorising anything.
Yet with the death of Sheriff Perkins and Deputy's Denton and Randolph, newly promoted Sheriff, Linda Esquivel is forced to hire replacement Deputies from those inside the Dome.
Former Deputies[]
With the death of Sheriff Perkins, Deputy Randolph begins to panic which eventually led to him opening fire with his pistol at the Dome.
