POLICE DEPARTMENT
UNIFORMED PATROL
The Patrol Division is the "backbone" of the Department, by responding to calls for police service in the City of Mansfield. The Patrol Division consist of uniformed officers that are first responders to 911 calls and complaints from citizens to insure public safety. Patrol Division is tasked in enforcing criminal laws, traffic laws, city ordinances, and maintaining public peace and safety.
BIKE PATROL
The Bicycle Patrol Unit was organized in 1997. The unit is instrumental in getting patrol officers to locations rapidly where an officer in a vehicle could not go and where an officer on foot would not be able to respond quickly. The bicycles are quiet and permit the officer to patrol and yet be able to hear the sounds around more acutely. The unit is very helpful during public functions such as the Hometown Celebration and Christmas in the Park.
The Unit has also had a great deal of success in several neighborhoods with long-standing traffic complaints, where they could hide and observe violators, and yet quickly overtake the violator's vehicle and make a traffic stop.
K9 UNIT
Mansfield Police Department's K9 Unit consists of Officer Brandon Kramer and Police Service Dog "Bandit". Bandit, a Belgium Malinois, was born on May 5 2006 in Holland by the name of FOX BO MA LI and was purchased by the City of Mansfield on October 3, 2008.

Officer Kramer and Bandit were trained in Patrol and Narcotic Detection at Kasseburg Kennels in New Market Alabama.
