Patrol Division
Patrol
is the backbone of this and every Law Enforcement Agency. Patrol
Officers are the front line of law enforcement and are dispatched to
the scene whenever calls for service are received, whether they involve
calls for information, domestic disturbances, motor vehicle accidents,
crimes against persons, crimes against property, or other emergencies
of any nature.
In order to respond effectively to these calls, the Bluff City Police Department has a schedule of patrol shifts that provides twenty four hours of coverage, seven days a week. There are four shifts of two officers. These patrol shifts cover Bluff City, Piney Flats and are often called upon by the Sullivan County Sheriffs Office for assistance.
Manpower is an issue of major consequence in law enforcement. Traffic details, escorts, protection details, planned and unplanned officer absences, and other unexpected events are a never-ending problem. Still, our average response time to calls is generally five minutes.
