Patrol Commander
Captain Jeffery W. Dwyer

The Smyrna Police Department is comprised (as of August 2010) of 77 sworn officers and 27 civilian employees. All of the men and women of the Smyrna Police Department strive to provide the highest quality police service available anywhere. We take very seriously our roll in keeping the Town of Smyrna a pleasant, attractive, and safe place to live.

Of the departments 77 sworn officers 44 are currently assigned to the Patrol Division.
Members of the Patrol Division provide a wide variety of services. These services include, but are by no means limited to the following;


• Traffic enforcement/ Traffic Control
• Crash Investigation
• Response to calls for service
• Response to calls for emergency medical service
• Investigation of reported criminal activity

• Directed neighborhood patrol
• Transportation of prisoners
• Court Security
• Service of Criminal Warrants
• Zones/Business patrol
• Education and community awareness
• Special projects and community events

As our town continues to grow, so goes the workload of the police department. In an effort to more efficiently and effectively meet the demands of our community the department identified two additional functions which have proven essential, our Warrants and Traffic Units. These officers have been reassigned from our Patrol division and have received additional training in their respective areas. These officers are in addition to the 44 officers assigned to Patrol.

Four officers have been designated as Warrants Officers. Their primary function is the service of criminal warrants, subpoenas, providing court security, as well as the scheduling and transportation of prisoners to and from various detention facilities and the appropriate court.

Six officers are assigned to Traffic Enforcement/Crash Investigation. Having received extensive training in all things traffic, these officers focus their efforts on the enforcement of traffic laws, the investigation of vehicle crashes, and the education of the public on a wide variety of traffic related issues.

Rest assured that the dedicated men and women of the Smyrna Police Department will continue to meet the challenges that the future will surely bring. It is through continuous professional service, education, and enforcement that we at the Smyrna Police Department intend to keep Smyrna a pleasant, attractive, and safe place to live and work.
