DIVISIONS
Patrol
All police officers start as patrol officers as they begin a career in law enforcement. Their duties typically include writing tickets, regulating traffic, responding to calls for help, crowd control, and enforcing laws and ordinances. Patrol officers are permanently assigned to a neighborhood sector to patrol by foot, car, bicycle, or horseback.
Our department has a total of four platoons that operate on rotating shifts. Every platoon has designated Field Training Officers who provide essential hands-on experience and necessary training to newly hired officers.
Criminal Investigative
The Criminal Investigative Division (CID) is responsible for investigating serious crimes that occur. CID is broken down into two detailed sections: Major Crime and Special Victims. Each unit is responsible for the investigation and clearance of certain types of crime.
All Lancaster City Detectives are experienced officers who receive specialized training and education to prepare them for the job. They continue to receive extensive education and training opportunities to ensure that every officer is capable of performing their duties to the best of their abilities.
Administrative Services
The Administrative Services Division provides administrative support services to the Patrol and Criminal Investigative Divisions. This division is responsible for the Records Department, Jail and Communications Section, Training Department, and the Office of Professional Standards. In addition, the Administrative Services Division ensures that the Bureau is operating efficiently to help us better serve Lancaster City.
