The Uniform Patrol Division consists of four teams of uniformed officers working zones throughout the parish. They often are the first department representatives to interact with the public. Responsibilities include answering distress calls, making arrests, resolving disputes, taking crime and accident reports, conducting traffic enforcement, and providing security for a variety of events.
The Motorcycle Patrol is a sub-unit of the Uniform Patrol unit, handles the responsibilities of a uniformed patrol deputy, and also provides traffic control and enforcement, along with escort services. Deputies working in this unit complete an extensive motorcycle driving course in order to learn how to handle their motorcycles at high speeds and in adverse driving conditions.
