The Field Operations Bureau is organized into two platoons, each comprised of two patrol teams and overseen by a Watch Commander who reports to the Field Operations Captain. Each platoon is led by a Lieutenant who oversees daily operations, ensuring effective supervision, coordination, and accountability. The patrol teams within each platoon are responsible for responding to calls for service, conducting proactive patrols, enforcing traffic laws, and engaging with the community.
Patrol Division
The Patrol Section is the most highly visible component of the Field Operations Division, working 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and is commanded by two Lieutenants who are designated as Platoon Commanders. Patrol is the largest entity within the department and is responsible for the execution of law enforcement responsibilities of the department through preventative patrol and active enforcement of both criminal and traffic law.
To accomplish 365 days per year coverage, the two Patrol platoons each have three patrol teams (Day Shift, Evening Shift, and Night Shift). Uniformed officers are assigned to designated Patrol Beats within the town’s Community Policing Districts and conduct patrols in patrol cars, while riding bicycles, and on foot.
