 Mission:
The Police
Department's role is to enforce the law in a fair and consistent manner,
recognizing both the statutory and judicial limitation of its authority and the
constitutional rights of all persons. The mission of the Police Department is
the prevention of crime, preservation of the public peace, protection of lives
and property, the detection and arrest of violators and the enforcement of all
laws and ordinances. The Police Department is able to accomplish its mission
with five major divisions: Administration/Records, Crime Prevention, Uniform
Patrol, Communications, and Criminal Investigations.
Patrol Division
|
|
The Police Department Patrol Division
includes seventeen sworn officers who uphold the law, deter crime and
protect the public. They provide routine patrol, conduct premise
inspections, apprehend and arrest violators of the law and enforce
traffic laws and local City ordinances. Patrol officers are the first at
the scene of a crime and can properly protect, preserve and in some
cases collect evidence which significantly improves the possibility that
an investigator will bring the case to a successful conclusion. |
Communication
Division
|
 |
The Communications Department is the
nerve center of the Police Department providing all officers with the
necessary information and assistance to perform their duties safely.
|
|
|
|

The Communication center contains and controls computer information
links with City, County, State and Federal agencies as well as telephone
access to the public, 9-1-1 answer point and radio communications with
all field units. |
Investigations
Division
|
 |
Criminal Investigation
Division (CID) detectives assist in the prosecution
of perpetrators through investigation. This achievement requires proof
in court that a crime was committed and that the person charged did in
fact commit the crime.
The Detective, therefore ascertains the facts of the crime and
determines who committed it. They will identify and arrest the
perpetrators, discover and interview witnesses, and compile physical
evidence capable of substantiating the appropriate charge in court.
The recovery of stolen property that provides additional evidence of
complicity and the return of the stolen property to its rightful owner
are further responsibilities separate from their use as evidence. |

sixteen hours a month or volunteer for special assignments.
The Reserve Officers help keep our patrol costs down. The department has
