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.

The Reserve Officers help keep our patrol costs down. The department has fifteen reserve officers at this time. We plan to increase our reserve staff to twenty-five officers as soon as they can be processed.
