The Patrol Division consists of four squads patrolling in three geographical areas called districts within the Town of Apex. The primary mission of patrol is to protect life, property and the prevention of crime. Uniform officers are responsible for patrolling more than 15 square miles and providing effective law enforcement services to more than 38,000 residents and visitors such as answering calls for service, investigating motor vehicle crashes and warrant service. 

Traffic Safety Unit

The Traffic Safety Division is a part of the Patrol Division. This division is responsible for the investigation of traffic accidents, addressing speed complaints, conducting traffic studies and analyses, and traffic education. Division personnel receive advanced training in accident investigation and reconstruction and traffic safety education and enforcement. This unit provides several services to the community including a DWI simulator, the seatbelt demonstrator, and the placement of portable speed signs in the community.

The Department has received the AAA Carolinas Traffic Safe Communities Award 4 of the last 5 years. Traffic safe communities are selected by looking at crash statistics, number of law enforcement officers per capita, the presence of a formal traffic safety program and/or existence of a special traffic division. The University of North Carolina at Charlotte provided the statistical analysis and the Carolina Motor Club Foundation chose winners in each category giving extra emphasis to those communities that are proactive in enhancing traffic safety efforts.

If you have a traffic complaint or would like a speed measurement device placed in your neighborhood, please contact:

Special Response Team

The goal of the Special Response Team (SRT) is to deploy highly trained tactical personnel to the following types of situations: barricaded subjects, hostage situations, building searches where there is a high probability of a suspect being inside the building, and service of arrest or search warrants involving an elevated level of risk.

Special Response Team officers serve on the team part-time. Selection to the team is voluntary and requires compliance with stringent requirements. Each member participates in a continuous training program consisting of classroom and practical application in all types of situations. This includes barricaded suspects, hostage situations, and building searches, as well as service of search and arrest warrants involving an elevated level of danger. SRT members are also trained to search for missing persons on all types of terrain and under various weather conditions.
