SHIFT STRUCTURE
Uniformed Officers work 12-hour shifts starting at 6:00am.  Uniformed officers work 14 days per month. The administrative staff works 8.5 hour shifts starting at 8:00am, Monday through Friday.

FLEET
The police department maintains a fleet of marked and un-marked vehicles for police use. In 2000, the department began a transition from white cars to navy blue. This was a response to the similarity of other area department patrol vehicles. In 2007 the department began changing to black and white cars with a new graphics design. A maximum of two officers is assigned to each car. They are equipped with the latest technology in laptop computers, radar, and video camera/recorders. The fleet is kept in top running condition by local car care experts.

BIKE PATROL
The department operates two specially equipped mountain bikes for police patrol use. Officers selected to the bike patrol must complete a 40-hour course in bike patrol procedures.
