A patrol officer is responsible for enforcing statutes, laws, and regulations designed to protect the life and property of the citizens of Fishers.

A police officer candidate receives comprehensive training through a recruit training program at the Indiana Law Enforcement Academy. Upon graduation from the academy, the police officer candidate will be advanced to the Field Training Program.

The work of a police officer involves considerable personal risk and requires the use of sound, independent judgment in all emergency situations. The tactful, conscientious performance of duties is carried out with limited supervision. The police officer works in an environment that encompasses the tenets of community-oriented policing with quality service delivery being paramount. Responsibilities may include, but are not limited to, working rotating shifts, patrolling a designated area in the city to preserve the peace and to prevent and discover the commission of crime, resolving problems within the community, directing traffic at pedestrian crossings and street intersections; enforcing motor vehicle operations and parking regulations, and performing communication functions. A police officer is also required to conduct preliminary investigations at the scene of a crime, administer first aid, gather evidence, obtain witness statements, make arrests, and testify in court.
