The goal of the Patrol Division is to address community problems and assure a safe community environment through directed and routine patrol. As the most visible and largest division of the police department, the Patrol Division provides the first response to emergency and non-emergency incidents. Patrol personnel proactively address community problems, use various specialized units with special training, and deliver police services to city residents.

A total of 18 officers make up the patrol division which is lead by Lieutenant Julee Bunderson.  There are three Sergeants and two Corporals.

Patrol Officers are scheduled to provide 24 hour coverage. Many extra duty assignments in the Patrol Division include Bike Patrol, K-9, Motor Unit, Special Response Team (SRT), Field Training Officer, and Crime Scene Investigator. As with any department, the Patrol Bureau is the backbone of the agency, with most of the department's resources being put into this bureau.
