Police Services

Patrol Division

The Sunnyside Police Department has 14 officers assigned to the patrol division. This division consists of four squads. Each squad is supervised by a sergeant. One officer is designated as a traffic enforcement officer, enforcing traffic laws and responding to vehicle accidents.

Patrol Officers are the initial responders to calls for service and conduct the initial investigation. 

When not conducting criminal investigations, officers of this division proactively enforce traffic violations, aggressively patrol for crime prevention, and provide other various services and assistance to the citizenry of the City of Sunnyside.

This division responds to emergencies 24 hours per day, every day of the week and may be called to assist outside agencies such as the Yakima County Sheriffs Office, the Washington State Patrol, and other nearby jurisdictions.
