Often referred to as the "backbone of the department," this group of employees consists of the uniformed officers driving marked police vehicles that most people will have contact with on a day-to-day basis.  Officers are tasked with conducting proactive patrol of their areas to prevent crime, identify conditions which foster criminal activity, identify criminal acts and their perpetrators, and lawfully make arrests and write citations to violators, as needed.

Patrol officers are expected to take a leading role in the community and identify partnerships to enhance public safety in our community.
