Overview
 

The Patrol Division is the most visible portion of the Moorhead Police Department to the citizens we serve. The Patrol Division is often the first and only contact many citizens have with our department. The Patrol Division currently has 32 sworn officers, who are directly supervised by four Sergeants and four Lieutenants.

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.

What beat do I live in?
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.
