Document Summary
A new approach: police operations: despite all of the criticism of traditional police patrol methods by academic researchers, no one is calling for he elimination of police patrol. What is patrol: moving place by place by any means and responding to emergencies and trying to prevent crime by presence. Crime prevention: prevent crime, make people feel safer. Random patrol: no specific strategy, much like search and destroy or hurry-up and wait for the next call. Operations: traditional: rapid response to calls, retroactive investigation by detectives (keep highly trained detectives for major crimes and use patrol officers to investigate, random routine patrol. Operations: patrol: backbone of police department, patrol effectiveness, concept-omnipresence, kansas city study- 1972, subsequent tests, staffing- 2016. Patrol real world conditions: the backbone of the department, they are first responders, typically comprised of 67% of sworn officers, the smaller the agency, the higher the percentage.
