Uniformed Patrol Division
Patrol officers are the most visible unit of the Floyd County Police Department. Our officers work three 10-hour shifts and are responsible for answering 911 calls from the public in the unincorporated area of Floyd County.
Officers are responsible for answering calls for service from 911, investigation of crimes and any reports of suspicious activity. Officers also respond to motor vehicle crashes and conduct traffic enforcement on all roads within the county. FCPD patrol officers conduct road checks, drug investigations and frequently interact with the public to ensure safety in our neighborhoods.
