The Uniform Division maintains a fleet of marked units that are assigned to officers as take home cars, provided the officer lives in Warren County. The benefits of assigned take home cars include: higher police visibility, quicker response time in the event of a major incident, and extended life of the unit with lower maintenance costs.
The Uniformed Division officers currently work three standard shifts. A newly created specialized unit known as the C.O.R.E. Team, under the direction of Sgt. Mark Mara, works varied non-traditional hours. This Team supports shifts during peak hours, performs saturation patrols in high call volume areas, assists with traffic accidents, and does additional traffic enforcement, etc.

Combined, there are almost 170 years of experience among the six shift supervisors and the division commander.
