Patrol Division

The patrol division is the backbone and most visible part of a law enforcement agency. Patrol is responsible for responding to calls for service from the public, including a rapid response to emergency situations. Some examples of a call for service include traffic crash's, reports of criminal activity, city ordinance violations, domestic violence, general complaints, traffic complaints, property disputes, suspicious persons, medical assistance, and many other social issues.

Additionally, traffic enforcement and preventive patrols are vital parts of patrol's responsibility. Traffic problems are an important issue being addressed by law enforcement today. This is mainly due to the large number of traffic fatalities, injuries, and the ever-increasing volume of traffic on our public streets and highways in the United States. Current Department of Transportation statistics indicate that 12,000 vehicles pass through Seymour weekly.

Preventive and highly visible patrol vehicles are instrumental in crime control and providing police services. The marked patrol unit provides accessibility by the public to law enforcement personnel and a rapid response to emergency situations.

The patrol division responds to approximately 4700 calls for service a year.

Our Department has one unmarked Ford Crown Victoria, one unmarked Chevy Tahoe, and two marked main patrol squad cars that are equipped with the following equipment:

• Data 911 Mobile Data Computers linked with Outagamie County Dispatch
