Patrol
The Patrol Division is the backbone of any modern police force and is the largest division within the NCPD. The primary purpose is to patrol any given sector to enforce the law and reduce crime, of which there is a lot of. The Night City Government is constantly giving more resources and manpower to the patrol division mainly due to the dangerous nature of the role and the rise in crime.

Beat Patrol
Beat cops are the boots on the ground and are tasked with patrolling their designated sector. In years past beat cops typically patrolled alone, but due to the rise in crime they now go in pairs. They have to respond to any threats from gangs, corporate shootouts, riots, drugs, psychos and your everyday disgruntled citizen. Once a shift starts, they are on their own and are expected to deal with the majority of incidents alone, unless it calls for the cavalry. Standard issue equipment consists of armored vest and helmet, cuffs, a pistol and/or non-lethal launcher and a first aid kit.

Traffic Patrol
Traffic is considered a lame job; the lowest on the totem pole and typically given out as punishement by a higher up. Their role is primarily to enforce traffic laws and the traffic flowing. ''Nobody particularly likes traffic cops, not even other cops. ''Standard issue equipment consists of an armored vest, traffic helmet and a 9mm pistol.

Cruiser Patrol
Cruiser Patrol is a step up from the standard beat cop. They drive a police outfitted BMW600, known as a black and white and typically assist beat cops on their patrol of a sector. However cruisers have the luxury of being sat down, in the warm and behind some thick sheet metal. Cruiser patrol is a little more dangerous simply due to the high profile and large target of a car.

Airborne Patrol
Airborne typically operate helicopters and occasionally some AV and are meant to patrol the skies, however they are more often used as heavy backup needed in a moments notice. However due to the dangerous nature of Night City, they are always needed at a moments notice. Air units typically consist of a pilot, 2 beat cops an officer and a medic. There is a saying when it comes to Airborne; If you really need them, they'll be there - usually.
