Patrol Services Division<br />
Organizational Structure<br />
The Patrol Services Division represents the largest section <strong>of</strong> our<br />
agency. It is staffed by uniformed <strong>of</strong>ficers who are most likely the first<br />
<strong>of</strong>ficers to respond to a wide variety <strong>of</strong> incidents, ranging from service<br />
calls to the most serious <strong>of</strong> crimes. Patrol <strong>of</strong>ficers routinely are<br />
responsible for preliminary investigations <strong>of</strong> crimes, the<br />
<strong>protect</strong>ion <strong>of</strong> life and property, the prevention <strong>of</strong> criminal activity and<br />
the maintenance <strong>of</strong> public order, with lawful authority to enforce all laws and ordinances.<br />
The Patrol Division is also responsible for traffic safety and accident investigations, as well as visibility<br />
and enforcement activities at problematic locations in the <strong>Village</strong>. When <strong>of</strong>ficers are patrolling in<br />
neighborhoods, they are engaged in proactive duties to reduce and stop crime; citizens should feel free to<br />
wave, ask questions or pass along information for the betterment <strong>of</strong> the community.<br />
