"*"Means unit numbers confirmed via addresses in the town.

Part-Time PD means that Town Police are not on 24 hours a day or certain days of the week. The respective MSP Barracks for that area will provide police services during the times that those town PDs are out of service. Prisoners arrested by the Town PDs are transported to the State Police Barracks for their area, either by MSP or Town PD. Some towns use Spencer Police's lock-up.

"OLD F-s" are still used for tactical and back-up.
