About Us

The division is divided into three geographically distinct response areas. Each has a Response Area Team that is responsible for reducing crime at the neighborhood level. A Response Area Commander leads each team and serves as the area's primary police representative. The division also has a Focused Mission Team which the division commander is able to deploy strategically to be a proactive force in crime hot spots and to address emerging problems.
The division operates three standard work shifts, and overlapping morning and evening shifts. For more information about division personnel, points of contact, Response Area Teams, and special units and projects, please view the additional information about the division.
