Town of Brookfield Police Department
Patrol Operations
Patrol duties are probably considered the most important aspect of police work. The presence of police throughout the public sector aids in the prevention and detection of crime as well as reducing accidents and insuring compliance with state and local laws.
The Town of Brookfield Police Department provides 24-hour coverage to its citizens and community. The department operates three shifts daily (1st, 2nd, and 3rd). During the months of May through August, the department adds two power shifts in addition to the three normal shifts for additional manpower.
The Town of Brookfield Police Department (TBPD) is dispatched by the Waukesha County Communications Center (WCC). The TBPD joined WCC in the fall of 2004. WCC provides police and fire dispatching for many communities in Waukesha County, including the Waukesha County Sheriff's Department, City of Brookfield, City and Village of Pewaukee, Town of Lisbon, Village of Butler, along with several others.
The TBPD provides continuous and ongoing training of all its officers. That training includes firearms, defensive and arrest tactics (DAAT), basic first aid training (CPR and AED), and other specialized schools.

Bicycle Patrol
The TBPD Bike Patrol was developed by Sgt. Anthony Bertram in the spring of 2003. Our agency joined with the many other agencies across the nation in the effort to promote this effective "beat" aspect of community policing.
Our Bike Patrol currently has five trained officers who participate in the program. These officers conduct many productive services such as:
Continuing public relations
Patrol of public lots and parks
Neighborhood patrol
Conduct children's bike safety courses at local organizations
Speed enforcement
Parking enforcement
The Bike Patrol is a well received and motivated member of the patrol operations of the TBPD and it will remain so for years to come.
The patrol bike is perfect for the citizens of the Town of Brookfield. It can provide services to the merchant areas as well as the neighborhoods of the town.
