Seventy-five miles of City streets are monitored by the patrol division
which is comprised of six command staff officers and 15 patrol officers
assigned to three patrol shifts; day shift, evening shift and midnight
shift. The patrol division utilizes a fleet of six patrol vehicles.
Typically, these vehicles average 50,000 miles per year in the course
of patrol duties. The department also has two police motorcycles and
two police mountain bicycles which are utilized for specialized patrol.
The primary function of the patrol division is to conduct routine street
patrol and respond to calls for police services. Many of these officers
strive to obtain specialized skills and certifications beyond minimum
requirements to aid in meeting the diverse needs of our citizens. Some
specialized functions include D.A.R.E. instruction
in our community schools, child safety seat installation technicians
and seat belt safety technicians.
