The Police Department consists of five full time officers and one part-time officer providing 24- hour coverage through a 911 enhanced Central Dispatch service. All full-time officers including the Chief answer calls for service. All personnel type their own reports into the computer. Administrative work is shared by the Chief and uniform Sergeant. The Chief handles all electronic crime reporting and receipt of Homeland Security information via secure internet sites. The uniform Sergeant assures all reports meet standards for reporting to state and federal agencies as required by law. The detective Sergeant handles most in depth investigations.
