The Bismarck Police Department’s Patrol Section is committed to providing efficient and effective police services. We also strive to ensure open two-way communications between our Police Department and those we have sworn to Protect and to Serve. Our ability to maintain the public’s trust and cooperation is the cornerstone of our success.
The uniformed members of the Patrol Section actively patrol and respond to calls for service throughout the city. The officers are responsible for proactive criminal and traffic enforcement, investigation of crimes, collaborative problem solving, and are primarily responsible for the majority of all arrests. Officers are geographically deployed during their shifts to specific areas of town, for a designated amount of time.
The Patrol Section is comprised of two shifts. Each shift is led by a Lieutenant, and the day to day supervision is conducted by Sergeants.

Lieutenant Brandon Rosen
Assigned Sergeants are: Sgt. Lyle Sinclair, Sgt. Kent Kaylor, Sgt. Cody Berger, Sgt. Del Gallagher, Sgt. Sheldon Welch, Sgt. Casey Bosch
Lieutenant Jeremy Curtis
Assigned Sergeants are: Sgt. Darrin Heinert, Sgt. Shaun Burkhartsmeier, Sgt. Jordan West, Sgt. Dan Salander, Sgt. Garner Jones, Sgt. Nick Pynnonen
