Special Operations Unit

The Special Operations Unit (S.O.U.) was founded and created in 2016 by Constable Mark Herman to support multiple divisions and units within the Constable’s Office. The S.O.U. is designed to detect, deter, and proactively respond to serial part 1 crimes, primarily the offenses of burglary and robbery, in and around our contracts and throughout the precinct. The S.O.U.’s duties include improving mobility throughout the precinct, curbing the delivery of narcotics through uniformed interdiction and providing uniformed presence during the execution of search and arrest warrants conducted by Precinct 4’s Criminal Investigations Division. The S.O.U. is also available to supplement patrol responsibilities as needed. In addition, the S.O.U. may be called upon to conduct other special assignments as needed by the department.
