Field
Operations Divisions is essentially the most important
division in the department by virtue of the one-on-one services
it provides to our citizens. When citizens call our department,
they expect patrol officers to respond immediately.
This is not
always possible, however the effective deployment of patrol
officers falls under the purview of the field operations
division. This vital Division is commanded by the Commander of
Police who is in charge of commanding the following sections.
Patrol Motorcycle, Bicycle Patrol, Special Events, PSA, K-9 and
