The department protects the city with regular patrols, through the special service patrols described below, and by directed patrols, which are specific assignments to areas needing special attention at any one time.
TIPD officers typically perform more follow up on their own criminal cases than do officers in larger city or metro area agencies. This allows patrol officers to continually develop their investigative and report writing skills. It also means that TIPD officers are well prepared in court.
Most officers typically work a 4 day on / 3 day off cycle. All sworn personnel are provided with new equipment and uniforms, including a 800 MHZ portable radio, an X-26 Taser, a Glock 9mm sidearm, and all leather gear.
Four- wheel drive vehicles are used to access 3.5 miles of beach. In addition, our department utilizes an A.T.V. to patrol the beach areas.
The Marine Patrol is a full time dedicated unit focused on marine enforcement, safety and education. The department utilizes a 24’ Boston Whaler Justice, equipped with twin 200 hp Yamaha engines as well as state of the art radar and chart plotter. During the peak boating season from May until September, and on holidays and weekends, additional officers may be assigned to increase protection and safety.
Specially trained officers are assigned to bicycle patrol, which provides a greater degree of access, closeness and increased interaction between the officers and members of the community. The department utilizes several patrol bikes, including three fully equipped Mercedes Mountain Bikes.
