The Field Operations Division is under the leadership of the Field Operations Commander. The primary responsibility of this division is to respond to emergency patrol calls, non-emergency calls for service, traffic enforcement and community oriented police services. Division Personnel conduct preliminary investigations and the necessary follow-up for most incidents. The Field Operations Division consists of twenty-five sworn patrol officers, traffic officers and reserve officers. The non-sworn component of the division consists of animal control officers and multi-service officers.
Patrol officers in this division work with community members to identify and resolve problems of crime and disorder either through formal problem oriented policing projects or by directed patrol and targeted pro-active enforcement.
Within the Field Operations Division, specially trained officers participate as field training officers, bicycle officers, motorcycle officers as well as assuming other collateral duties. The Reserve Officer Program in this division consists of paid part-time employees who are trained to augment regular patrol activities.
