• Crime Scene Processing
• Interviews
• Property Crimes
• Domestic Violence
• Crimes against Children
• Elderly Abuse
• Fraud/Forgery
• Homicide Investigation

The Patrol Division is historically referred to as the "backbone" of the police department, and is responsible for patrolling the city 24 hours a day/7 days a week.

Officers of the Patrol Division are typically the first responders to any dispatched or self-initiated incidents. As an example:

• they are the first responders to domestic disturbances, thefts, burglaries, robberies, etc.
• they perform traffic stops and investigate traffic accidents
• they deal with a host of high-stress situations and crimes

All new police officers are assigned to the Patrol Division for their field training and introduction phase to law enforcement. These officers then either choose to stay in Patrol or take their knowledge and experience into other divisions.

The Motorcycle / Traffic Division is responsible for traffic law enforcement and accident investigation.

Members of this unit graduate from an intense police motorcycle rider school, and are trained as Accident Reconstructionists.

The officers on the unit utilize high-tech diagramming equipment in serious injury or fatality accident cases, perform funeral escorts when possible, assist with community events, etc.
