Operations Division East (ODE), sometimes referred to as “Team 4,” is the largest of TPD's four patrol divisions, covering almost 120 square miles–over 50% of the city's land area. The division is bounded by city limits to the north, east, and south, and Craycroft Road to the west. The ODE substation is located at 9670 E Golf Links Rd, in the Golf Links Municipal Complex just east of Harrison Road. ODE shares the complex with the Miller-Golf Links Library.
ODE includes three major components: uniform patrol, Community Response Team (CRT), and Neighborhood Crimes Section. ODE's eight patrol sectors are served by ten uniform patrol squads. In addition to answering calls for service, patrol officers work traffic enforcement and proactive policing assignments. The Community Response Team works in uniform or plainclothes to deal with specific problems in ODE neighborhoods. The Neighborhood Crimes Section investigates a variety of crimes that occur in the division.
Teamwork, personal responsibility, and fairness are core values ODE members embrace in the performance of our duties. The Tucson Police Department's commitment to community policing reinforces our bond with the community we serve, and are proud to protect.
