Bureau |

The Operations Bureau is responsible for
multiple functions within the Melbourne Police Department:
- Primary response to all calls
for police service within the City
- Investigates all crimes and
investigates traffic accidents
- Maintain high visibility to the
public as a crime deterrent
- Conduct special operations
throughout the year
- Provide extra-duty coverage for
community events throughout the year
The Traffic Unit consists of motor
officers and aggressive driving enforcement officers deployed day
and night. The Criminal Investigations Unit is comprised of general
and Persons Crimes Detectives, as well as a Special Operations Unit
that concentrates on narcotics enforcement. We also have additional
specialty units including SWAT, K-9 Unit, Dive Recovery Team, and
the Crisis Negotiation Team.
Each patrol car is outfitted with a computer allowing officers in
the field to receive real time information on drivers, offenders,
and vehicles. Officers also submit written reports via the enhanced
Records Management System over the same computer system. Our
Officers and Detectives are provided the latest equipment and
resources available to increase their performance and effectiveness
in law enforcement for the City of Melbourne. |
