Responsibilities of the Patrol Section are to conduct preliminary criminal
investigations, respond to motor vehicle investigations, respond to
first aid calls and fire calls and investigate a wide range of non-criminal
reports. In 2001, the Long Hill Police Department handled
23,557 calls for service.
There are 12 marked vehicles assigned to the Patrol Section.
The fleet is managed by a computerized vehicle maintenance program
which details scheduled maintenance of the patrol vehicles.
Officers in the Patrol Section receive approximately 100 hours
of mandatory training each year in domestic violence, firearms proficiency,
use of force, CPR, emergency first aid, and defibrillator response.
Additional discretionary training is conducted in criminal law,
motor vehicle law, search and seizure, and criminal investigations.
