Brown City Police Officers are multifunctional officers who are trained and experienced in handling almost any police related situation that occurs in the City. Some of the basic responsibilities include general patrol for the purpose of traffic enforcement and prevention – detection of crimes and hazardous situations. Police officers are sworn to enforce city ordinances, state and federal laws. Officers respond to calls for service that include both criminal and non-criminal matters. Department members investigate crimes, accidents (both on streets and private – public property), and handle City ordinance code violations.
Brown City Police Officers are responsible for the apprehension of criminals and wanted individuals. Members of the Department routinely respond to non-criminal matters, such as child custody disputes, property disputes, and other situations where a police presence is requested. The Brown City Police Department is one of only a handful of departments state-wide that will still respond and unlock motor vehicles after the operator has locked the keys inside.
