The majority of our personnel work as uniformed patrol officers. They are the most visible and recognizable members of our department. Officers work one of three shifts: 7AM-3PM, 3PM-11PM or 11PM-7AM. Officers patrol in cruisers, on foot, and on bicycles. Officers spend their shifts tending to the following duties:

Administrative Duties

Self-initiated Activities

All uniformed officers are trained as first responders, certified to use semi-automated defibrillators for assisting victims in cardiac arrest. Each on-duty cruiser is equipped with one of these lifesaving devices as well as other medical equipment.

Uniform patrol is a very diverse and challenging position, that requires dedicated and resourceful men and women working together.
