Burbank Police Department (Illinois)

The Patrol Officer is the initial responder to the 15,000+ police service calls per year ranging from violent crime to house watches. The Patrol Division is further responsible for vehicle and pedestrian traffic, law enforcement, and crash investigation. In addition, utilizing crash data, officers monitor specific sites with high crash rates, address traffic-related complaints (speeding, traffic light violations, etc.) and conduct selective enforcement in high pedestrian traffic areas such as schools and parks. The Patrol Division is staffed twenty-four hours a day and broken down into three primary patrol shifts or watches, with additional power cars and specialty cars assigned during peak hours to maximize coverage. Specialization Officers are selected and trained from the patrol ranks to supplement the overall operation of the Division. These sub units include the School Resource Officer, D.A.R.E., Evidence Technician Program, Field Training Officer Program, and Canine Program....
