Support Operations Division

The Support Operations Division consists of four sections:

Air Operations provides aerial patrol, responds to emergency calls,  monitors traffic problems, as well as provides support for major events. In addition the section assists the Pasadena Fire Department in brush surveys and fire management.  This section also participates in the L.A. IMPACT regional taskforce and provides regional helicopter services to neighboring cities.

Event Planning Section is responsible for planning and staffing a variety of sponsored events, which require police services ensuring the safety of the community and a successful and trouble free environment.

The Traffic Section serves as the principal traffic facilitator and enforcement body relating to traffic matters for the Police Department. The section investigates all fatal collisions and those collisions involving city property damage. The section is also involved in educational programs in the local high schools emphasizing driver safety.

The Community Services Section implements the department's community outreach and crime prevention programs. The section is also responsible for youth programs, which provide a safe environment for youths to participate in after school activities. Additionally, public education is a key element of what this Section does. Keeping the public apprised in relation to current events is also a key component. The unit monitors racial harmony and sensitivity issues closely.
