Patrol/Operations Bureau
The Patrol Section is divided into three non-rotating shifts providing 24-hour, seven-day-a-week emergency and non-emergency law enforcement response to the community. Two Patrol Sergeants, with A-Company, B-Company and C-Company each having nine officers, supervise each shift. Patrol Sergeants also provide general supervision of Detectives, the Holding Facility, the Communications Unit and the Animal Control Officer.
Special Event Planning is also handled by the Operations Bureau Lieutenant (i.e., Fourth of July and Labor Day events, Columbus Marathon planning).
