Unit handle all patrol functions as well as special events such<br />
as parades, community policing details, escorts and funeral<br />

Bicycle Patrol<br />
The DeWitt <strong>Police</strong> Department Bicycle Patrol Unit gives the <strong>Police</strong><br />
Department more latitude in patrolling the various parts of the Town<br />
and to provide more options in keeping with our Community Policing<br />
Initiatives.<br />
Throughout the late spring, summer and early fall, the bicycles were<br />
deployed to everyday patrol, directed patrol activity and to many<br />
community services events. The bicycles were a common sight at the<br />
Town of DeWitt’s annual Canal Days event at Ryder Park.<br />
Emergency Services Team<br />
The DeWitt <strong>Police</strong> Department<br />
has a team of officers who are<br />
specially trained and equipped<br />
to deploy to highly dangerous<br />
situations. Duties include<br />
responding to suicidal and / or<br />
barricaded subjects, hostage<br />
situations, and executing highrisk<br />
warrants.<br />
The team members train a minimum of eight hours per month in order to maintain<br />
the high level of proficiency that is expected of them. Each member of the team has a specified role within the<br />
<strong>Police</strong> Department’s day to day operations. When needed, the team can be quickly assembled and mobilized for<br />
a high risk assignment.
