The Patrol Division is the largest division of the Department with members. The Division consists of 130 officers from Uniform Patrol, Canine Unit, Community Policing, Neighborhood Watch, Special Units, and Traffic Unit.
As an organization, we have pledged to uphold the trust and confidence of our citizens by partnering with them to solve community problems. These partnerships and positive working relationships are the cornerstone of keeping the City of Lansing a safe place to live, work and visit.
Patrol Sectors
The city is divided into four patrol sectors based upon calls for service, response time, and crime reports. Each sector has been assigned a Lieutenant, several Sergeants and a number of Officers from each of the three 10-hour platoons (shifts) to be responsible for the crime fighting in that area of the city.
