Patrol Sectors

To best serve the community, The Lexington Police Department has three patrol sectors The sectors are West, Central and East. Patrol officers are assigned to one sector, which allows them to become familiar with that particular part of the city. Each sector is further divided into smaller sections, or beats. As well as responding to calls for service, patrol officers are also responsible for patrolling their assigned beat. Each sector is under the leadership of a commander.
