The Operations Division, also known as the Patrol Division, is the most visible unit within the Franklin Borough Police Department. This division operates 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, ensuring that whenever residents require emergent or non-emergent services by contacting 9-1-1 or our dispatch center, a patrol officer is ready to respond. Beyond addressing crimes in progress and conducting initial investigations to support the Detective Bureau, the Patrol Division takes a proactive approach by employing strategic policing methods aimed at preventing and reducing crime. These strategies include community policing initiatives, targeted patrols in areas with increased calls for service, traffic enforcement to promote safety, and collaborating with local organizations to address issues such as substance abuse and mental health crises.
To support these efforts, officers regularly undergo specialized training to enhance their law enforcement skills and techniques. This training covers a wide range of topics, including investigative methods, narcotics detection, evidence collection and preservation, crisis intervention, de-escalation, case law, search and seizure protocols, domestic violence law updates, and motor vehicle safety enforcement. This continuous education ensures that our officers are highly skilled, adaptable, and equipped to serve the community with professionalism and expertise.
