Patrol Division

The Uniformed Patrol Section is responsible for a broad range of duties. Normally, officers in Uniformed Patrol are the first officers dispatched to crimes in progress. Frequently, the uniformed officer arrives prior to the perpetrator departing the crime scene, and an arrest will be made by the officer. In cases where the suspect has departed the crime scene, it is the primary responsibility of the uniformed patrol officer to conduct the initial investigation and complete the preliminary report. Other times, uniformed patrol officers assist stranded motorists, investigate traffic accidents, provide traffic enforcement, and conduct routine patrol in assigned districts.

The Patrol Section is divided into four platoons working 12 hour shifts, providing around the clock service. The City of Hurst  is separated into four patrol districts. The districts are defined by geographic boundaries and are staffed 24 hours a day. Each district, depending on need and resources, is responsible for combating the crime in its zone and for designing and maintaining community policing projects within the district.

In 2010, a total of 8,501 tickets were issued for speeding, 3,086 for no insurance, and 1,545 for expired registration. In 2010, the total number of accidents in Hurst decreased by 4%. There were 457 priority one calls received in 2010.
