The Fremont Police Department Patrol Division is responsible for responding to and stabilizing dangerous or violent situations as well as initiating the investigations of criminal cases. These functions are supported by specialized units such as Canine Officers (K-9), Street Crimes Unit, and Mobile Evaluation Team, Traffic safety is also a significant responsibility of the Patrol Division with a traffic lieutenant overseeing a team of officers. Our patrol personnel are managed by lieutenants serving as Watch Commanders. Patrol officers are assigned to one of three zones of the city, and are supervised by sergeants. The Patrol Division is configured in a team structure and works together to direct enforcement toward offenders causing the most harm to the people we police. A Community Oriented Policing philosophy and Intelligence Led Policing strategies are the foundation to our mission of Public Safety through Professional and Effective Law Enforcement.

The Patrol Unit is the largest in the Department, comprising of more than 160 personnel. For patrolling purposes, the City is divided into three zones. Each zone has a day, swing and mid-night shift Patrol team. The Patrol teams consist of both sworn and professional staff that provide front-line field services. Each team is supervised by a Police Sergeant and each shift is managed by a Police Lieutenant (Watch Commander). The number of Officers and Community Service Officers assigned to a shift is based upon a number of factors including; current staffing levels, criminal activity, calls for service, and other information, which helps dictate deployment strategies.
