Police Division
Uniform
Patrol
As
in most Police agencies, the uniform road patrol is the backbone of the
organization. The majority of our
uniformed officers work within this unit. It
is made up of three shifts: 11:00pm to 7:00am; 7:00am to 3:00pm; and 3:00pm to
11:00pm. Each shift is under the direct supervision of a Lieutenant and a
Sergeant and 3 to 5 patrol officers are assigned to each shift.
In addition, one officer is assigned to an overlap shift of 7:00pm to
3:00am to cover our busiest hours. 
The
uniform patrol provides basic police coverage to the Community.
When a citizen places a call to the Police Division, a uniform patrol
officer will handle the call for service.
