Uniform Patrol Services

Officers assigned to the Patrol Division are the first to respond to a call for service from a citizen. Their response time from the receipt of call until they are at the caller's location varies. The average response time is about three minutes to a call involving a crime in progress or one involving an immediate threat to life or property. Do not hesitate to call if you believe the police are needed. Your knowledge and sense of neighborhood or business are the best guides. A prompt call substantially increases an officer's chances of checking on the person, situation or vehicle you find suspicious. When a vehicle is involved, do all you can to remember the license plate number and color of the vehicle.
