The Law Enforcement Bureau is responsible for public safety and law enforcement in the unincorporated areas of Travis County. The primary focus of these units involves the patrol function in those areas, but there are many specialized units that are also a part of their jobs.

The county is divided into three command areas, East Command, West Command and Central Command. The dividing line is basically Interstate 35 with Central Command handling some of the shared functions.

However, its primary mission remains the same - to provide services to crime victims in Travis County.
