Police Patch Requests
The uniform patches of the Dayton Police department are restricted. We receive numerous requests for our patches from patch collectors and other interested parties. Patches are purchased with city funds, and for security reasons, it is our policy to only issue uniform patches to authorized employees of the department.

Flock Cameras
Dayton PD uses Flock Safety technology to capture objective evidence without compromising on individual privacy. Dayton PD utilizes retroactive search to solve crimes after they've occurred. Additionally, Dayton PD utilizes real time alerting of hotlist vehicles to capture wanted criminals. In an effort to ensure proper usage and guardrails are in place, they have made the below policies and usage statistics available to the public.
