The patrol operation is the backbone of any police department. All the other sections of the police department operate in support of the patrol operation. The administrative, communications, and investigative positions operate to support the basic function of patrol. The basic functions of a police agency are performed by the patrol personnel.
They are charged with the duty to protect lives and property, enforce criminal and traffic laws, suppress crime and respond to a wide assortment of calls for police service. Many of these calls are determined to be outside the jurisdiction of the police service and referrals to other agencies or government entities are made. Police powers in our country are limited and were intended to be that way by our founding fathers.
Police agencies function under limitations imposed by the various Courts of the judicial system and their interpretation of the Constitution and enacted laws. Law enforcement cannot be and was never intended to be the answer to all problems in society. |

Communications |
|
|
|
Communication Employees are generally the first point of contact for those requesting service or seeking information. They are an integral part of the patrol operation and truly represent a lifeline for field officers and supervisors.
The Communication employees are required to seek as much necessary information as possible to relay to the responding police officers. Those calling for police services need to provide the information asked for by the communication staff to insure a safe and timely police response. Multiple telephone lines and radio communications with the street officers make for an extremely high stress environment for the communications staff.
Please remember that 911 telephone lines are limited and are intended for emergencies only. |

News Release March 5, 2009
Due to budget cuts, effective March 13, 2009 the Greenfield Police Department will no longer have a manned dispatch center at Greenfield City Hall. Police officers will be on duty at all times in the city, but they will be dispatched through the Highland County Sheriff's Department. Any emergency should be reported by calling 911. Emergency 911 calls will be routed to the sheriff's department and a Greenfield officer will be dispatched. The regular telephone lines at the police department will be answered by an automated system, and citizens needing information or wishing to speak with an officer for non-emergency issues should leave a message. Officers will be checking the system and returning the calls as soon as possible. Residents and business owners with alarm systems that currently call the Greenfield Police Department should contact their alarm service provider and have the number switched to call the Highland County Sheriff's Department at (937) 393-2212 or (937) 393-1421. |
