The Patrol Division is charged with the primary responsibility for all law enforcement activities within the community. The Patrol Division's mission is to preserve the peace, protect life and property against the effects of criminal activity and to ensure the safety of the motoring public by enforcing all traffic laws.

Patrol officers work closely with many other departments including Miller County Sheriff’s Office, Camden County Sheriff’s Office, Missouri Highway Patrol, and Osage Beach Police Department.

The uniformed police officers are the most visible and readily identifiable representatives of the City of Lake Ozark. They represent the Police Department's first responders to emergency and non-emergency situations 24-hours a day. For all Police, Fire, and EMS emergencies call 911.

For non-emergencies that require a police response, call (573) 365-5371.
