Patrol
BICYCLE PATROL
Bicycle patrol has many advantages to traditional motorized or foot patrols. Bicycle patrols can go more
places than motorized patrol, get places faster than officers on foot and are much less noticeable than large
patrol cars. Bicycle patrols are also more approachable to the public allowing for greater community interaction
with the residence.
ATV PATROL
The purpose of the All Terrain Vehicle (ATV) is to supplement normal patrol by allowing for patrol of areas not
accessible by a patrol car. Patrol areas include but are not limited to Recreational Trails, Park District areas and
other specific problem areas. ATV patrol can also include residential streets. All ATV officers are required to
participate in and pass a Safety and Operation course before being allowed to operate the ATV.
COMMUNITY SERVICE OFFICERS
We have three CSO's assigned to the patrol division. They provide a large array of services to our department. These
services include:
- Parking enforcement.
- Ordinance enforcement for violations such as abandoned vehicles on private property, animal control, etc
- Accident investigation on private property accidents.
The C/S/O's do not have any police powers of arrest.
These officers allow our patrol officers to concentrate their efforts on service and preventative patrol for our
community.
Patrol's main responsibilities include protecting the persons and property of the
citizens of Frankfort. Other duties and responsibilities include: enforcement of laws
and ordinances; the prevention and investigation of crime and delinquency; the
apprehension and detention of violators; and the preservation of order and related
police services.
