The Patrol
division is the most visible extension of the police
department, responsible for answering calls for service,
issuing traffic warnings and citations, responding to traffic
accidents and crimes in progress, and investigating both
misdemeanors and felonies. Patrol is currently comprised
of 15 sworn officers.
Lt. Ronald
Sanchez is ultimately in charge of the Patrol division and the
supervisory load is distributed among four shift
sergeants. Each sergeant is responsible for the officers
on his or her shift and reports to Lt. Sanchez. Most
officers have other responsibilities in addition to their
normal patrol duties. These duties include K-9 handling,
drug interdiction, firearms instruction, investigations, gang
intelligence, E.R.T., and others. Patrol Officers work
12-hour shifts, and get a three day weekend off every other
week.
