The Patrol Division is the primary uniformed division of the department and is responsible for providing continuous police presence and immediate response to calls for service throughout the city. Patrol officers serve as the first point of contact for most community members and play a critical role in crime prevention, enforcement, and public safety.
Patrol officers conduct proactive patrols, respond to emergencies and non-emergency calls, enforce traffic and criminal laws, and conduct preliminary investigations. They are frequently the first on scene for serious incidents and work closely with Major Crimes, Traffic, and other specialized units to ensure effective resolution of incidents.
Operating around the clock, the Patrol Division provides 24-hour, seven-day-a-week coverage to protect life and property while maintaining visible presence, professionalism, and community trust.
