The primary role of the Uniform Division is one of pro-active patrol for crime prevention.

A two man “Accident Reconstruction Team” from the Division is called on to investigate all fatality crashes.

Another specialized unit within the Division is K-9. Four deputies are trained in handling the Department’s four dogs. These animals are trained in search, apprehension, and drug recognition methods. They are often called upon to search for suspects who have fled on foot from crime scenes as well as to perform searches of vehicles and homes where suspected controlled substances may be hidden. They are also utilized to locate small children or the impaired elderly who have wandered away from their residences.

The Emergency Response Team (ERT) consists of the Team Commander, Entry Team Leader & Team members, Medic, Sniper, and Negotiators.
