Our uniformed patrol officers are divided into four squads, with each squad working 12-hour shifts for 24-hour per day coverage. Each squad is supervised by a Sergeant who reports to the Assistant Chief. A Corporal also serves as an additional first-line supervisor on each squad. The patrol squads are the most visible of our police services. They respond to, and conduct preliminary investigations into a variety of calls including traffic crashes, thefts & burglaries, medical emergencies, disturbances, and assaults.

In addition to responding to calls for service, the patrol officers are very active in providing a variety of presentations to school and community groups.
