Patrol Division – Kernersville Police Department

The Patrol Division consists of four teams. Each team works twelve-hour non-rotating shifts and is supervised by one Patrol Lieutenant and one Patrol Sergeant. The department provides twenty-four-hour traditional patrol functions. Officers rotate assignments through these zones. This helps enhance their knowledge of residents and business owners that live and work within their zone. The officers in the Patrol Division are the first to respond to most calls for service. Patrol officers respond to violent crimes, property crimes, traffic accidents and other calls as required.
