Patrol Section

The Patrol Section is comprised of two patrol teams managed by Lieutenants David Cox and Jeff Weiss, and supervised by 5 Sergeants.  20 Police Officers are divided between the two teams.  The patrol teams work 11 hour shifts on a 4 on/4 off rotation.

Uniformed patrol officers provide 24-hour coverage, 7 days a week/365 days a year.  Most citizen contacts with our police department occur when people call for our help.  These officers handle the preliminary investigation of approximately 26,000-30,000 calls for service and traffic related incidents each year.  Specialty assignment opportunities include K-9 (apprehension dog) Handler, Motors/Traffic, Bicycle Patrol, Field Training Officer, Crisis Response Unit (SWAT) Operator, Firearms/Force Training Unit, Collison Investigator, and Domestic Violence Investigator.   Our diverse group of individuals create a team who offer strong skill sets and a desire to serve our community.  Our patrol fleet vehicles are equipped with mobile data computers.
