Patrol

Overview

The patrol division is comprised of 37 officers who work a variety of shift assignments.  Patrol officers are supervised by nine patrol sergeants.

Officers are responsible for a wide array of law enforcement and public safety functions. The majority of a patrol officer's time is spent responding to dispatched calls for service, conducting traffic enforcement, and identifying and investigating problems within their assigned district.

Officers primarily patrol their districts in their squad cars but can also patrol on foot, bicycle, or motorcycle depending on their assignment.  An officer's squad serves as their mobile office and is equipped with everything they need to carry out their duties.






Police Ride Along Program

The Department offers citizens the ability to observe officers perform the job duties by riding along in a police car.  This is an excellent opportunity to see how officers work in the community and the challenges they face on a regular basis.
