What does the Halifax Regional Police Patrol Division do?

The Patrol Division is the most visible of all divisions of the Halifax Regional Police. Uniformed officers patrol neighbourhoods on foot or in police vehicles, respond to calls for assistance and work in partnership with citizens to keep our communities safe.  

Patrol officers are divided into four watches. Each watch has officers who are assigned to one of the three divisional areas, Central, East and West. Patrol officers work two 12-hour day shifts, two 12-hour night shifts and then have four days off.

In addition to the three divisional offices, the Patrol Division also includes Divisional Quick Response Units for Central, East and West.
