Patrol Operations

Patrol operations involve law enforcement officers regularly monitoring specific areas to prevent, detect, and respond to criminal activities or emergencies. Officers use patrols—either on foot, in vehicles, or bicycles—to maintain a visible presence, gather information, and build community relationships. These activities help deter crime, provide assistance, and ensure public safety. Effective patrol operations rely on strategic planning, communication, and timely response, allowing officers to address various issues promptly and maintain order within the community.
