Broomfield’s Patrol Division, led by Commanders
Linda Haines, Tim Hersee, and Roger Plunkett, is the
backbone of the Police Department. Patrol officers
are first responders to emergencies. Their sharp eyes and professional
actions, together with their collective work with community members on
neighborhood problems, help maintain the quality of life that Broomfield
residents enjoy.
Broomfield Police Officers responded to 29,302 calls for service in
2008, and the Patrol Division handled the majority of those calls. Calls for service are all requests from our citizens for assistance.
The requests can be for a wide variety of reasons, including reports of
suspicious people, neighborhood problems, or to report a crime. |

In addition, Patrol
Officers initiated 60,709 citizen contacts on a variety of topics in
2008. These contacts reinforce the community-oriented policing
philosophy that governs the Department’s day-to-day activities.
Although the numbers of calls for service have increased over the last several years, the rate of crime in Broomfield continues to remain low. This can be attributed to our citizens who, in many cases, are calling the police for help before a crime occurs and using services in true partnership with the police. |
