Patrol

I hold our patrol officers to the highest level of integrity and strive to build strong bonds with the citizens of Aransas Pass through compassion, wisdom and commitment. Protecting and serving is more than an expression; it is the very core purpose of any police officer to provide the service the citizens deserve.Â
Patrol Lt. Alvin Luker
Functioning as the primary operational arm and foundational backbone of the law enforcement agency, the Patrol
Division comprises 19 highly trained, full-time sworn officers who provide continuous, around-the-clock protection and coverage for the community. Operating 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, these personnel serve as the department’s front-line ambassadors and first responders.
The division’s multi-faceted mandate encompasses a wide array of critical duties essential to maintaining municipal order. Officers are tasked with executing rapid, effective responses to high-priority emergencies, efficiently mitigating routine daily calls for service, and conducting thorough, preliminary street-level criminal investigations. Furthermore, they actively manage proactive traffic enforcement initiatives designed to reduce accidents and ensure roadway safety, while simultaneously executing proactive crime-suppression details.
Deeply dedicated to safeguarding the overall quality of life within the established city limits, the division utilizes a synchronized, community-oriented policing approach. This strategy ensures that the team can dynamically adapt to meet and exceed the evolving public safety requirements of all residents, business owners, and visitors alike. Under the executive command and strategic leadership of Captain Andrew Ford, the Patrol Division continuously maintains the highest standards of operational readiness, professional integrity, and dedicated protective service.
