Patrol Division
The Township of Derry Police Department Patrol Section has four six-officer platoons, each under the direction of a Patrol Sergeant. The Patrol Section is the front line of the Department. The function of the Patrol Section is primary response to all reports of crime and requests for service within the Township. Proactive patrol activities include traffic and criminal statute enforcement, as well as crime prevention through high visibility patrol. The patrol division includes three K9 teams which supplement the patrol division with drug detection ability and tracking capabilities (Derry Township K9s). In addition civilian Community Service Officers, supplement the Patrol Section by assisting in traffic direction, handling animal calls, enforcing minor township ordinance violations and parking violations.

Famous quotes containing the word division:
“Slow, slow, fresh fount, keep time with my salt tears;
Yet slower yet, oh faintly gentle springs:
List to the heavy part the music bears,
“Woe weeps out her division when she sings.”
Droop herbs and flowers;
Fall grief in showers;
“Our beauties are not ours”:
Oh, I could still,
Like melting snow upon some craggy hill,
Drop, drop, drop, drop,
Since nature’s pride is, now, a withered daffodil.”
—Ben Jonson (1572–1637)
