Acting Captain Nicole Adams serves as the Assistant Chief in charge of the Patrol Branch. The Assistant Chief of the Patrol Branch oversees the Patrol Branch including all six patrol squads (day work, evenings, and midnights) and the Canine Unit. The mission of the Patrol Branch is to provide front-line services to our community. Officers assigned to the Patrol Branch are the first to respond to requests for service from members of the community and Commission staff. We understand that police reponses are critical to community opinion of the Division and the perception of crime. With that in mind, we attempt to provide the most professional, comprehensive, and service-oriented response possible. Officers are thoroughly trained to provide exceptional service to the community while maintaining personal and community safety. Officers are tasked with quickly assessing on-going situations, protecting life and property and effectively and efficiently taking appropriate actions.

The Canine Section is responsible for assisting fellow officers with tracks, building searches, area searches, and vehicle scans.

The Unit is comprised of five K-9 teams: Sergeant Codi Evans and Niner (patrol/narcotics); Officer Justin Andrews and Tango (patrol); Officer Dennis Benden and Knight (explosives); Officer Steven Burroughs and Brody (patrol); and Officer Heather McLaughlin and Lucky (explosives).
