Uniform Patrol

Four uniformed patrol teams provide patrol services to the City. The primary mission of each team is to protect life, property, and prevent crime. Officers are responsible for patrolling Archdale’s nearly 9 square miles and for providing effective law enforcement to the 11,500 residents and to visitors that travel to and from Archdale.


Patrol Shifts

The department has four patrol teams that operate on rotating shifts (12 hour shifts) which are three days on two days off and then two days on and three days off. Every two weeks the shift rotates from day to night shift to complete a work cycle. Each Patrol officer will work 14 days and be off 14 days each 28-day cycle.
