Patrol Officers are committed to building and maintaining problem solving partnerships
within the community. The Patrol Division is committed to the Moorhead Police Department's
philosophy of community oriented policing. As a part of this philosophy,
officers are assigned to permanent areas of the community, which are known as beats.
The City of Moorhead is divided into four beats. Through this assignment of beats,
officers become more familiar with issues and problems within their portion of the
community, and can address them on a more individualized basis. Extreme growth for the
City of Moorhead has resulted in dramatically larger beats geographically for the
Officers assigned to patrol them.
