Uniform Patrol
The Patrol Division is the backbone of the Myrtle Beach Police Department and the most visible presence in our community. Patrol officers serve on the front lines of law enforcement, working 24/7 to respond to calls for service, patrol neighborhoods, enforce traffic and criminal laws, and act as the first responders in emergencies. Their mission is to protect life and property, preserve public peace, and ensure our city remains a safe place to live, work, and visit.
Beyond enforcement, the Patrol Division is deeply committed to community policing. Officers build strong relationships with residents, businesses, and visitors, reinforcing our commitment to working hand-in-hand with the community. Through proactive patrols, engagement, and problem-solving, our officers deter crime while strengthening the trust and partnerships that keep Myrtle Beach connected and secure.
The Patrol Division includes day and nighttime shifts, as well as Animal Control Officers and Desk Officers, who all play vital roles in keeping our community safe. Whether responding to emergencies, preventing crime before it happens, or simply engaging with neighbors, our patrol officers embody the dedication and professionalism of the Myrtle Beach Police Department.
