The Patrol Division is responsible for preserving the peace, protecting life and property, and maintaining the balance between law and order and individual liberty, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. This is accomplished by constant patrols of the Town's streets by marked and unmarked vehicles, motorcycle, bicycle and foot. Each squad is composed of a Sergeant and 5 patrol officers. Much of their time is spent being on the lookout for criminal activity, potential disturbances, traffic violations, hazards, dangerous situations/conditions and people in need of assistance.
