Records Bureau

 

The Records Bureau is a critical function within the department.  It maintains all case reports, recovered property items, and evidence from crimes.  Once reports are approved, they are submitted to Records and are assigned a case number.  This system allows for easy retrieval of information needed for insurance companies, courts, and detectives.  Records is also responsible for the transportation/return of evidence (e.g. drugs) to or from the state’s testing labs.  The Records Bureau, working closely with Telecommunications, monitors the information technology (IT) aspect of police work.  The clerk responsible for the IT requirements of the Police Department monitors the IT systems and assures that it gives the police officer access to as much of the information contained within the system as needed.

 

School Traffic Safety

 

School traffic safety consists of several crossing-guards who ensure the safety of children as they travel to and from school.  They are responsible for monitoring and regulating traffic when children and school buses are entering the roadway.  Crossing-guards are typically on-duty during the hours immediately before and after the schools open and close.

 

Training Bureau

 

With over seventy officers on the payroll, including the Airport Division, the Police Department established a Training Bureau in May of 2008.   While training has always been a requirement and a particular focus of the PD, the increased number of officers made the need for a specific Bureau clear.  With eight hours of annual continuing education training required by Police Standards and Training, over and above annual certification with the firearm and four hours annual training in the Use of Force, the need was clear.
