Crete Police Department patrol officers not only receive calls for service, but are also responsible for follow-through of each case from start to finish.

The organization is patrol-centric. Crete patrol officers not only receive calls for service, but are also responsible for follow-through of each case from start to finish. These officers conduct/direct their entire investigation, receiving aid from others as they desire. After preparing their final case report, it’s ready for review and on to prosecutors.

The Captain leads the patrol division assisted by two Sergeants and the Investigative Sergeant. Together, they supervise patrol officers and school resource officer.

Patrol officers have many duties. The Department supports each officer as they develop their own unique talents and interests by offering training opportunities and resources allowing the officers to express these individual traits in a way that best serves the people of Crete.

Administration

The Administrative Sergeant oversees the administration division as well as the Administrative Assistant and Code Enforcement Officer. The Sergeant is responsible for material acquisition and accountability as well as facilities and vehicle fleet management. The Sergeant manages grants, the internship and ride-along programs and also oversees nuisance property and parking enforcement.
