The backbone of any police department is the patrol division. These are the uniformed officers that are most visible in the community. They are on duty 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. The patrol officer is the first person you will meet after you have called the police to report an accident or a crime. Major James Purcell commands the patrol division. Patrol consists of 5 Sergeants, 3 Corporals, patrol officers, and 3 special officers. Within the Patrol Division several specialty units have been developed:

Brookfield Accident Investigation Team   B.A.I.T.
