Do you have specialized units?
Yes. The department assigns one officer as the full-time School Resource Officer, one officer as the C3I criminal investigations detective, and one officer as the narcotics task force detective, when staffing and work volume permit. The department has one in-house investigator, who also covers shifts and calls as needed.
Policing primarily consists of uniformed patrol. Most officers work in uniformed patrol. Uniformed police officers have the closest knowledge of the community, respond to emergencies and crimes in progress, and are easily found and approachable if a community member has a question, needs help, or just wants to talk to an officer. These officers also conduct criminal investigations, follow-up work, and community policing activities, among many other duties.
