Patrol

136_bnr1.jpg
››Police Home

Patrol's main responsibilities include protecting the persons and property of the citizens of Frankfort. Other duties and responsibilities include: enforcement of laws and ordinances; the prevention and investigation of crime and delinquency; the apprehension and detention of violators; and the preservation of order and related police services.

Bicycle Patrol

Bicycle patrol has many advantages to traditional motorized or foot patrols. Bicycle patrols can go more places than motorized patrol, get places faster than officers on foot and are much less noticeable than large patrol cars. Bicycle patrols are also more approachable to the public allowing for greater community interaction with the residents.

ATV Patrol

The purpose of the All Terrain Vehicle (ATV) is to supplement normal patrol by allowing for patrol of areas not accessible by a patrol car. Patrol areas include but are not limited to Recreational Trails, Park District areas and other specific problem areas. ATV patrol can also include residential streets. All ATV officers are required to participate in and pass a Safety and Operation course before being allowed to operate the ATV.

Community Service Officers

We have three CSO's assigned to the patrol division. They provide a large array of services to our department. These services include:

Parking enforcement.

  • Parking Enforcement
  • Ordinance enforcement for violations such as abandoned vehicles on private property, animal control, etc
  • Accident investigation on private property accidents.

The CSO's do not have any police powers of arrest. These officers allow our patrol officers to concentrate their efforts on service and preventative patrol for our community.
