City of Derby

Patrol Division

The Patrol Division is comprised of all the uniformed police services for the police department. The primary role of the Patrol Division is to provide emergency law enforcement services to the citizens of Derby. Day-to-day operations include traffic enforcement, accident investigation, criminal investigation and reporting, crime prevention and detection, and response to other emergencies.

Included in the Patrol Division are the Community Education Unit, Special Response Team, and the Reserve Unit. These units support the primary emergency response function for the Division.

The Special Operations Team is a highly trained, tactical response unit that supports the emergency response role of the Patrol Division. This group of officers is called upon to serve high-risk search warrants, manage barricaded suspects, and resolve hostage situations with the primary objective to preserve life. 

The Reserve Unit is comprised of volunteers trained to serve in a limited capacity as law enforcement officers. This unit is called upon during staffing shortages, and other instances to support the law enforcement mission such as parades and special events.

In addition to overall supervision of the Patrol Division, the division commander assists with planning and research, budget preparation, and policy development.
