PATROL DIVISION


Patrol CarThe members of the Leawood Police Department's Patrol Division perform the "meat and potatoes" work of law enforcement.

Easily the most visible of the department's many units, the patrol division's three groups of officers are on duty 24 hours a day, 7 days a week spread throughout the city in their black and white patrol cars. The patrol division's work cycle is divided into three shifts: days (7 a.m. to 3 p.m.), evenings (3  to 11 p.m.) and midnights (11 p.m. to 7 a.m.). Officers bid to determine their shift and remain on that shift for three months before another round of bidding. Officers may not spend more than 6 months on a shift before they need to rotate to a different shift.

Each patrol shift is managed by a sergeant and includes Diaz & Brokaw a corporal; a master patrol officer; a field training officer, selected to supervise the on-the-job training of all newly hired officers; an evidence technician, a specialist in processing physical evidence at crime scenes; and five or six other patrol officers.

In addition to their patrol responsibilities, members of the patrol division also have individual specialties including: Firearms Instructor, ASP Baton Instructor, Taser Instructor, OC Instructor, Armorer, Police Marksman, Identity Theft Specialist, CPR Instructor, Emergency Vehicle Operations Instructors, Critical Incident Peer Counselors, Swift water Rescue, and Drug & Gang Specialists.

On any given day, Leawood patrol officers in any of the city's three zones may respond to reports of thefts in progress, injury accidents and other criminal investigations, or pursue self-initiated enforcement of traffic and other laws.
