The Patrol Division is made up of four shifts, A, B, C & D. Each shift is supervised by a Shift Commander (Lieutenant) and three Patrol Sergeants. The shifts work 12 hour days.

The Patrol Division is the back bone of the police department. They are encouraged to investigate the calls they receive from METRO 9-1-1 as much as possible. If they do not have the time or resources to fully investigate the case it is referred to one of our specialized units such as the Criminal Investigation Division.

We recently had mobile data computers installed in our patrol cars and the Patrol Sergeants' cars. We are very proud of this since we are the first in West Virginia to obtain mobile data. We were able to accomplish this with federal grants.
