Patrol is divided further into two platoons commanded by a Lieutenant.
Each platoon is comprised of two patrol squads supervised by a Sergeant.
Each squad works a 12 hour shift. This structured organization allows
for clear chain of command, communication laterally between shifts and
ensures seamless work transitions. The start of each shift begins with a
briefing where officers receive pertinent information such as wanted
persons, runaways, missing persons, reported crimes and issues that may
have occurred within a community during a prior shift. This information
allows the officers the ability to effectively deal with re-occurring
issues arising across different work periods.
