The Community Awareness Bureau is responsible for providing the general public with information and education about many different subjects. The bureau creates and presents specialized programs on topics such as drug awareness, crime prevention, personal safety, consumer fraud as well as the function and responsibilities of the Sheriff's Department. The audiences who request these informative programs are as diverse as the presentations. Senior Citizen Associations, Schools, Scout Troops, 4-H Clubs and VFW Organizations are only some of the groups. One of the bureau's most popular programs is the fingerprinting of school children.

Members of the Community Awareness Bureau often participate in Career Opportunity Seminars, Safety Awareness programs and local fairs and festivals.
