The Maryville Patrol Unit is the largest and most visible unit within the police department. These officers are typically the first contact citizens and visitors have with the city of Maryville and are responsible to solve problems and maintain harmony in our community. The patrol unit strives to make a positive impression and deliver the highest quality of law enforcement services available. Specialized units within the patrol division are composed of highly trained individuals proficient at a variety of tasks designed to meet the needs of the community. These include traffic, SWAT, honor guard, K9, and bike patrol.

The police department has designated four zones to allow for a quick and professional response to community needs, proactive policing, and a visible presence of officers in both residential areas and business districts. Four units within the patrol division operate in staggered shifts (day, evening, night, and traffic).

Traffic

Established September 2003 at the direction of Chief Crisp, the unit is staffed by a supervising lieutenant, a sergeant, and five patrol officers.

Training for each member includes crash investigation, field sobriety/DUI, radar/speed estimation, child restraint installation, and police motorcycle operation.

In addition to traffic violations and crash investigations, the role of the unit has grown to include a partnership with the Governor's Highway Safety Office to help reduce the number of crashes in the City - particularly crashes involving personal injury.
