The Patrol branch is the largest branch in the Police Division. The staff includes four Patrol Sergeants and 16 Patrol Officers. Sergeants are responsible for all activity and calls during their assigned shift. Officers with the Mitchell Police Division are offered extensive, on-going training that includes accident investigation, traffic enforcement, general criminal investigation, drug interdiction and civil matters to name a few. The Patrol branch also consists of a number of specialized functions. These include Boat, Emergency Response Unit (ERU), DARE, Bike and Field Training.
