Patrol Section

The Patrol Section of the Medicine Hat Police Service is divided into four Patrol Teams.  Each team consists of a Staff Sergeant, Sergeant, K9 Officer and uniformed Constables.

Patrol teams work in partnership with the public and provide for public safety 24 hours a day by maintaining order, responding to emergencies, protecting people and property, enforcing motor vehicle and criminal laws, and promoting good community relations.  They are citizen-focused, respond to the needs of individuals and the community.

The Patrol Staff Sergeant is responsible to ensure investigative thoroughness, conduct bail hearings, monitor prisoner processing and is the highest ranking member of each Patrol Team.

The Patrol Division Fleet consists of several traditionally marked and unmarked vehicles, SUVs and a prisoner transport vehicle.  Each of these are designated as patrol units, with specific vehicles designated for K9, Tactical and Supervisor Support. 

Using the latest technology, police officers are trained to manage information and intelligence in order to secure successful prosecutions Patrol members maintain their policing skills through their participation in ongoing training and development.
