The Uniformed Patrol Division has the largest number of uniformed officers within the Bureau. In December 2001, one hundred twenty-five (125) officers were assigned to the Division. The men and women serving in the Division respond to calls for service from the public, patrol the city’s neighborhoods and streets and respond to any other emergencies that may arise. These men and women are the “front line” of law enforcement.

In addition to uniformed personnel, this Division includes the Parking Enforcement Unit, consisting of civilian Parking Enforcement Officers and a civilian Animal Control Officer.

Detailed information on all of the activities, responibilities and units of the Uniformed Patrol Division can be found in the Annual Report.
