The Berkeley Police are available 24 hours a day, 7
days a week, 365 days a year. Depending on the time of day, no fewer than twelve and often
over thirty officers are patrolling our city. We deliver police services in a variety of ways. You will see not only the familiar Beat Officer in the black and white patrol car, but Officers on foot, riding bicycles or motorcycles throughout the city. Our Department is broken into three Divisions each with different missions and roles, but all have the same goal of providing quality police service to our community. In 1990, the Berkeley Police Department was accredited by the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies, Inc. (CALEAÒ). In 1995, the Department was re-accredited by CALEA. Our Department is broken into three Divisions each with different missions and roles, but all have the same goal of providing quality police service to our community. Each Division is led by a Captain who reports to the Chief of Police. The Divisions are made up of the following units.
