The Patrol Division utilizes a variety of vehicles to support the mission of providing effective and efficient police services to the community.  Officers patrol in sedans, medium and full size SUV’s and pick-ups. With the extreme weather conditions we live in and the heavy amounts of snow that are possible, we want to ensure we have the most capable vehicles that provide us with the ability to respond to emergency calls even during the most extreme weather events.
