The department has 427 positions, which are comprised of 250 sworn officers and 177 civilian employees.

 

Given the size of the department, DART Police offers a wide variety of special assignments, such as canine handlers, detectives, motorcycle officers, bicycle officers, special operations officers, drone pilots, training officers, and background investigators.  As a medium sized police department, each officer is a valued team member and our officers personally know each other, which leads to a heightened level of support and camaraderie.
