The
Gig Harbor Police Department is responsible
for providing around the clock crime prevention
and law enforcement services to the City of
Gig Harbor. The police department is currently
staffed with 14 commissioned officers, two police
services specialists, a community services officer,
four reserve officers, and a police chaplain.
The department is divided into three divisions
or functions; Administration, Operations and
Marine Services.
-
The
Administrative Unit is responsible for providing
direction and support to the agency. This
includes short, medium, and long-range planning
and forecasting, resource acquisition, responsible
budget formulation and administration, and
employee enhancement through ongoing training
and performance reviews.
-
The
Operations Unit is responsible for the majority
of police services throughout the city. This
includes deterrent patrol, traffic enforcement,
drug control, and investigative duties. Officers,
both paid and reserve, interact with community
members to reach positive resolutions to problems
and minimize future problems as well.
The
Marine Service Unit (MSU) is charged with
ensuring the safety of boaters within the
navigable waters within the jurisdiction of
the City of Gig Harbor. The MSU is an additional
police service provided on an as-needed basis
to achieve this directive. MSU is utilized
primarily through the peak boating (summer)
months, but is available at other times for
emergency functions or special events. The
unit is also involved in boating safety education
throughout the year.
