Dispatchers

The Department employs civilian personnel to perform several functions. Dispatchers answer the telephones and screen these calls. They either direct the calls to another agency, resolve the callers' problem or dispatch a police officer to the call. It sounds pretty easy but it is actually very complicated. They go from a very boring atmosphere to an overly excited climate, all the time having to remain calm and focused on their responsibilities.

Records Clerk

Our Records Clerk maintains records and processes records requests as well as keeps an open channel between the police department, attorneys and courts.

Police Assistant

Police assistants are civilian personnel who do much the same work of a police officer. They take reports, write tickets and direct traffic among other things. However, they do not carry weapons. The reports they take are for situations that do not require a armed officer and they only write parking tickets.

Crossing Guards

Crossing guards are part-time civilian personnel that assist children across the street going to and from the school. The city maintains the crossing at Division and Harrison Street during the following hours; 7:30am-8:30am, 11:15am-1:15pm, 2:30pm-4:00pm.
