The Lacey Township Police Department Patrol Division is the largest and most visible division in our agency. These are the officers who patrol our community 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. The Division is comprised of 4 squads, each consisting of a Sergeant, 6 to 7 patrol officers and two civilian dispatchers. The Patrol Division is currently under the command of Lieutenant Scott Tirella. The Patrol Division is an extremely pro-active unit that monitors our streets vigilantly to keep our community safe. Patrol officers enforce the law, arrest violators and preserve the peace.

    When anyone needs help within the Township, our patrol officers are the first to respond. From medical calls and crimes in progress to domestic disturbances, our officers are on the scene within minutes to handle any situation needing police intervention. Our department handles over 30,000 calls per year, including over 3,300 9-1-1 calls. This is in addition to all of our enforcement duties, and the vast majority of those calls are handled by the Patrol Division.

    Patrol officers are the "front line" of every police department, and our officers are committed to preserving life, ensuring the safety of the public, and preventing crime in Lacey Township. Their high degree of visibility makes them readily available when needed.
