The Uniform Patrol Division is the largest division of the Police Department who are first responders to 911 calls and complaints from citizens to insure public safety. Patrol Division is tasked in enforcing criminal laws, traffic laws, city ordinances, and maintaining public peace and safety. The Uniform Patrol Division operates four 12 hour shifts and is considered to be the “backbone” of the police department.
The Uniform Patrol Division’s goal is to be recognized as a fair, friendly, community oriented department dedicated to preserving peace, maintaining order, and protecting the life and property of the citizens of Acworth.
Uniform patrol operates vehicles equipped with the latest law enforcement technology with digital in-car video cameras and laptop computers. The computers enable officers to receive dispatch calls for service, complete reports while remaining visible, complete warrants checks though GCIC and NCIC, and check vehicle and driver’s license status. The digital in-car cameras are the latest technology with pre-event recording and crash activation.
Aggressive Criminal Enforcement (A.C.E.)
This team was developed originally to address street level narcotics problems, but in time proved to be effective in many ways. Past assignments have included aggressive DUI detection, surveillance, and saturating patrols in areas with exceptionally high crime rates. In addition to their specialized patrol assignments, the A.C.E. Team performs many different operations. These operations include street level undercover drug buys, search warrant executions, and surveillance of persons or property as needed.
Each team member has extensive training in the detection and interdiction of narcotics, as well as search and seizure practices.
