Organized into core Operations and Support divisions, the department includes Patrol, Investigations, Communications, Records, Property & Evidence, and the Citizens on Patrol (COP) volunteer program. These units work collaboratively to provide 24/7 law enforcement response, investigative follow-up, and administrative services, while enhancing community partnerships through outreach and volunteer support.

CHALLENGE & OPPORTUNITIES

The next Police Captain must be experienced with a demonstrated commitment to community policing, collaboration, effective communication, and customer service to successfully address various challenges and opportunities:

The Captain will be expected to lead the way and ensure the organizational culture supports community engagement to the highest extent possible.
• A recent evaluation of the Police Department recommended the need for formal mutual aid agreements with allied agencies, formal training and succession plans, and an internal leadership development plan. The successful candidate will be challenged to work closely with the Chief and others to work on these important organizational enhancements.
