Directed Patrol Team
This is a new concept that the police department has just implemented. It consists of a group of officers who work throughout the city at the direction of the Deputy Chief. The unit works as a team, which allocates the whole unit working the same area. The Directed Patrol Team (DPT) receives its assignment on a weekly basis. The assignment is determined based on a weekly meeting in which statistical data is reviewed. The DPT focuses on pro-active police work in high crime areas or neighborhoods that have been subjected to unusual crime patterns. The DPT is staffed by (1) Sergeant and (5) Patrol Officers.
