PATROL DIVISON
The Patrol Division is the largest and certainly the most visible division of the Bethel Park Police Department. The Bethel Park Police Patrol Division provides around the clock coverage, 365 days a year for the Municipality of Bethel Park residents.
The Patrol Division's principal duties and responsibilities are:
· To represent a positive and professional image of the Municipality and of the
Police Department to all persons.
· To promote trust, cooperation and respect for the Police Department
within the community.
· To prevent violations of laws and ordinances.
· To arrest criminal offenders.
· To suppress civil disturbances.
· To conduct preliminary investigations at accidents and crime scenes.
· To give aid and information to all persons as required.
The Patrol Division is divided into four squads and is supplemented by a power shift. This ensures the residents the highest level of police response.
The following are Local Ordinances that the Police Department routinely make contact with our residents. We made these files available so our residents can read them and come into compliance.

The Patrol Division wants to remind everyone how important your House Numbers are. During an emergency response, especially at night it is very difficult to see house numbers that are improperly posted. House numbers should be a minimum of 4 inches and are to be placed near the front door of the residence. If your house is off the road 75 feet or more, you are required to have an additional number close to the road. Getting to your home quickly to help is our priority, please help us by installing your house numbers correctly! Those few seconds we save getting to your house might make the difference. (7/28/11)
