The new University City Division is up and running as CMPD's 13th patrol district. That, along with other boundary changes to the other 12 divisions took effect January 13, 2007 as part of the department's redistricting initiative to balance workloads, staffing and provide equitable service throughout the jurisdiction.
The last time the department redrew its patrol division boundaries was in 2000. Since then, the jurisdiction has experienced considerable population growth, especially in the outlying unincorporated area.
