PATROL DIVISION

The Patrol Division provides the fundamental base for Carlsbad Police Department’s law enforcement services. Responding to approximately 90,000 calls for service annually, the Patrol Division serves the community and meets crime face-to-face in a wide range of situations 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Although street patrols are the majority of the division’s activity, other special details and services include canine units, bicycle patrol, crisis negotiations, bilingual services, the Tactical Response Team, and mental health assistance teams.
