Police Department Divisions

Administrative Division

A typical day in the life of a patrol officer may include: routine patrol, traffic enforcement, responding to alarms, assisting citizens, providing traffic control at accident or fire scenes, preparing detailed reports, making arrests, attending training, performing security at public meetings, recovering lost property, assisting the Salina Animal Shelter, conducting business and bar checks, and many, many other tasks. Patrol officers are assigned to one of six beats in Salina. All beats are staffed full-time, with extra officers covering the busiest areas during times of peak activity.

Support Division
