The Police Department Patrol Division is the most visible element of the Parker Police Department. Since a considerable portion of the Patrol Division's time is spent in traffic enforcement, the department has four full-time commissioned officers assigned to the Traffic Unit. All patrol officers are responsible for answering calls, addressing domestic and civil disputes, and apprehending criminal offenders, as well as taking on a myriad of other duties. The Patrol Division is staffed 24/7 year-round.
