Our Services - Mobile Patrol
Mobile patrol is a vital and effective tool of policing and every hour of every day, members of the Smiths Falls Police Service are patrolling the streets in five fully marked police vehicles. The territory covered by the Smiths Falls Police Service extends to the town population signs at each highway entering the city.

Having cruisers regularly patrolling the streets of Smiths Falls discourages those contemplating criminal activity for fear a patrol car might come around the corner at any time. As well, continuous patrol also increases the opportunity that officers can roll up and catch someone committing a criminal act.
Mobile patrol helps to ensure a safer community as officers are already rolling when 911 emergency calls come in. Not only can officers respond rapidly to a crime in progress, but also to medical and fire emergency calls where they can render immediate assistance while Ambulance and Fire are being dispatched.
It is for these reasons that the Smiths Falls Police Service considers Mobile Patrol one of its primary functions and will continue to make it a priority.
Smiths Falls Police Service 4x4 Truck
This 4x4 truck was added to our fleet to
ensure officers are able to respond quickly and safely to emergency calls during inclement weather and
road conditions. Besides general patrol the truck can also be used as a multi-purpose vehicle for tasks
such as executing search warrants and retrieving property.
The truck has been equipped with and extensive lights and siren setup for Officer and public safety.
On Board Video
In July 2009 Attorney General Chris Bentley visited Smiths Falls to announce a grant of $43740 for Smiths Falls Police Service. The funds were
obtained through the Civil Remedies Program and have been used to outfit all front line Cruisers of Smiths Falls Police with Audio Visual
Equipment.
The cameras help officers gather evidence for a wide variety of crimes, including aggressive driving and impaired driving.
Under the Civil Remedies Act, the Attorney General can use forfeited proceeds of crime to provide grants to police services.
