About Operational Support

The Operational Support Division (OSD) handles the administrative and ancillary functions of the police department.  This division provides services such as a regional, multi-agency dispatch center, a records department, animal control, an animal shelter and multi-agency transport services.  Volunteer services such as the department’s Senior Patrol Program are coordinated through this division as well.

Administrative functions handled by OSD include activities such as managing the department’s budget, facilities and fleet maintenance, state and federal grants and managing the CALEA accreditation process.  Background checks, alarm permits and public fingerprinting are just a few of the services OSD provides.

The OSD Commander is Brad Provost.  If you have any questions, comments or need any further information you may contact him at:
