Patrol Division
Police officers patrol the streets of Louisville 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Over the course of a year, patrol officers respond to over 5,000 calls for service. These calls range from noise complaints and nuisance calls to more serious crimes. We believe that the presence of police officers in the community, and interactions with the community, deters and reduces crime. Occasionally, certain areas of the City are targeted for additional patrols as a result of increased criminal activity or traffic complaints. The City of Louisville enjoys very low crime rates, and our patrol officers work diligently to help ensure that they remain low. If you have any questions about the police department's patrol operations, please do not hesitate to contact us.
