The Uniform Operations Bureau is the backbone of the department, and its patrol operations are divided geographically into the North and South divisions. Officers and supervisors are assigned to designated patrol zones and beats to prevent and deter crime and enforce state and local laws.
Officers assigned to the bureau’s Community Policing Program work with residents, business owners and community leaders to address quality of life issues and reduce criminal activity. The Special Operations Division includes the Auxiliary Unit, the Traffic Safety and Canine sections, and Aviation.
