There are also 11 part time reserve officers.
Our police department is divided into several smaller divisions. We also have several special projects and programs. Some of our programs are short-term, while others continue on a regular basis. All of these divisions, projects and programs work together and compliment each other so that we can provide the best service possible to the citizens of our community.
