Divisions

Where an officer lands.

Every slot below belongs to Mesquite Police and Dallas Police together. Certification and assignment run through Discord.

The officers who take the city calls. They answer the radio, run the stops, and hold a scene in Mesquite or Dallas until another unit is needed.

Motorcycle officers for tight streets, escorts, and traffic posts a cruiser cannot sit on. They work both cities on two wheels.

The Traffic Enforcement Unit. Crashes, speed enforcement, and the roads themselves. A collision or a traffic complaint is their scene.

The department’s aircraft. They watch pursuits, searches, and any scene that covers more ground than a car.

Water patrol. Lakes and anything that happens off the pavement belong to this unit.

Handlers and their dogs. Tracks, area searches, and building checks, run by a certified handler.

Detectives who pick the case up after the street scene and carry it across both cities.

The tactical team, with SWAT-capable cars the department can field on either side of the line.

Field Training Officers. A new officer rides with an FTO until they can hold a shift on their own.

Street-level crime, gangs, and narcotics. They work the proactive cases that do not start as a routine patrol call.
