2020 Goals 1. Prepare Officers for the next step in their careers by providing Sergeant Candidate School on supervisory topics every other month. 2.

Public safety starts with providing order maintenance through the presence of uniformed police officers. Uniformed patrol is comprised of eight patrol districts that provide police service to the Town of Mount Pleasant. Uniformed officers are responsible for patrolling 52 square miles and providing law enforcement services to over 90,000 residents and visitors. The department’s eight patrol districts are patrolled by six teams that work ten hour shifts. Each team is comprised of two Sergeants, two Field Training Officers, and seven Officers. Officers are assigned to each district for at least nine months at a time so they become familiar with the citizens, businesses, and activity in their area of responsibility. This helps build a strong partnership between the officers and the citizens they serve. Every six weeks the patrol teams rotate between day shift, evening shift, and night shift. Patrol Districts
