Lake Patrol
Lake Patrol enforces all state and local laws on the water and responds to incidents on land from the water as well. This division has three boats assigned to it that patrol the waters of Lake Norman. Housed in the Catawba County Sheriff’s satellite office located at 8456 Sherrill’s Ford Road, Sherrills Ford, NC 28673, this unit provides boater safety classes and offers the use of its meeting room to local nonprofits. For more information, send an email to Sgt. Kyle Lawrence at KLawrence@CatawbaCountyNC.gov.

Dock Watch Program
Welcome to the Dock Watch Lake Norman Program, an initiative brought to you by the dedicated Lake Patrol Division at the Catawba County Sheriff's Office. Our mission is to foster a stronger, safer, and more closely-knit community through the power of information and collaboration.
We believe that by working together, Catawba County residents can create a safer environment around Lake Norman for everyone to enjoy. Our program is designed to empower individuals and families to actively participate in safeguarding their community.
We aim to achieve this by establishing a network of vigilant residents who watch out for each other, report suspicious activities, and engage in community-building events. With a commitment to safety and a strong sense of community, we envision a Lake Norman where everyone feels secure, connected, and informed.
The Catawba County Sheriff's Office Lake Patrol Division is dedicated to providing Law Enforcement Services to the citizens and vacationers of Lake Norman through Crime Prevention, Drug Enforcement, Aggressive Patrols, and Education.
Please join the Catawba County Sheriff's Office Lake Patrol Division in making this vision a reality!
