Police Patrol Operations
-
Crime Prevention-Core functions of the police
The anticipation, recognition and assessment of a crime risk and the initiation of action
to eliminate.
Philippine National Police strategy in crime prevention
mechanisms
1. Police Presence (Visibility)
2. Law Enforcement
3. Police Community Partnership
three elements of crime

1. motive- The intention that drives a person to commit a crime.
2. opportunity -Set of circumstances which allows the person to commit the

crime. A chance for the person to perpetuate a motive.
3. Instrumentality-Device used in committing the crime.
Police omnipresence
The physical deployment of police officers, patrol vehicles, and other police equipment
which could amplify visibility and eventually deliver that much-needed, reassuring police
attendance and response in certain strategic areas.
Patrollers are known "ambassadors" of the PNP (represents the PNP as a whole)
High police visibility discourages criminals.
15 | JSF
City of Gapan
GAPAN CITY COLLEGE

Omnipresence means, obvious presence of police officers this is achieved through high
police visibility discourages criminals not to execute whatever plans they have. The
psychology behind it speaks that if the police is always seen by the people conducting
regular patrol it will be implanted that the police is always there even in his absence
thereby effectively creating a feeling of security to law abiding people and a deterrent to
would be offenders.
Police patrol
An indispensable component and function of police departments.
The act of moving about in an area of police officers for the purpose of observation,
inspection, collaboration, prevention of crime, and provision of a secured environment.
Patrol as the backbone in police service

Patrol is considered the backbone of the police department for the following reasons

other division or units in the police department may be eliminated, if necessary
2. Patrol is the only unit that works on a 24 hours basis for seven days
3. Patrol is the operational hearth of the police department .it is the center and the focal
point of all police activities

all police units but dominated by patrol (PIP-PARES)
1. Prevention of crime and control of criminal activities
2.Investigation of crimes
3. Protection of life and property
4. Preservation of peace and order
16 | JSF
City of Gapan
GAPAN CITY COLLEGE

5. Apprehension of criminals
6. Regulation of non criminal conduct
7. Enforcement of laws and ordinance
8. Safeguard of citizens 'rights and public morals
In reality, police activities are numerous and diversified elaborating further these
functions is quite complicated to simplify we can generalized the police functions into
two categories, namely (LP)
1. Law enforcement
2. Peace and order maintenance
Law enforcement embraces crime prevention and crime control including customary
functionson the other hand peace and order maintenance covers the peace keeping
and community oriented services
Methods of Patrol
The means used under favorable conditions that provide the most effective utilization of
available personnel, logistics, and funds to render police visibility, assistance and
response.
1. Foot Patrol- Type of patrol which is restricted to small areas and is used to deal
with special situations while maintain radio contact which officers in patrol cars.
The oldest form of police patrol work.
The most expensive type of patrol as the area becomes large. it requires more men to
cover the entire geographical area where a department is assigned to safeguard
• non-vehicular patrol
• conducted in heavily populated areas
• Provides the patrol officers familiarity on the ground and better observational,
identification and solution to peace and order concerns in their beat.
• Enables patrol officers to establish and maintain favorable relations with the
community through person-to-person contact.
• Patrol officers are able to more readily detect situations which require police
action.
17 | JSF
City of Gapan
GAPAN CITY COLLEGE

• They are able to develop excellent sources of information which can lead to the
detection and intervention in criminal activities.
Used to secure 2 types of police geographical units such as post and beat.
1. Post - a predetermined position or location where an officer is assigned for
guard duty.
2. Beat - the smallest area specifically assigned for patrol purposes
TYPES OF FOOT PATROL
• Fixed foot patrol - usually used for traffic, surveillance, parades, and
specific events.
• Moving foot patrol - used where there is considerable foot movement
such as patrolling business and shopping centers, high crime areas, and
in places where there are many or multiple family dwellings.
Significance of Foot Patrol
•Make visibility of officers
•Make greater contact with the community
•Increase rapport with community members.
•Increase community policing; and
• Improve police officer job attachment and satisfaction.
Disadvantage of Foot Patrol
• Low mobility resulting to limited coverage of the patrol area.
• Low response time to telephone complaints.
• Foot patrol method involves a large number of personnel since officers are
assigned on small areas of jurisdiction called beats.
Traditional foot Patrol patterns
✓ Clockwise patrol pattern - It is the patrol pattern that is done at the start
of the eight hours tour of duty, which purposes is for the patrol officer to
18 | JSF
City of Gapan
GAPAN CITY COLLEGE

survey the condition and situations of the boundaries of his area of
responsibility.
✓ Counter clockwise - this can be used at the last of duty to ensure that no
untoward incident hem to the patrol area of responsibility.
✓ The ZigZag or freewheeling pattern- this pats pattern is done by
patrolling the streets within the perimeter of the beats not at random but
with a definite target location where patrol officer knows that his presence
is necessary. this action is based on the study of the situation and
condition of the beat
✓ Straightway pattern - It is the type of patrol pattern that is done by
patrolling the length of the street. It is the easiest way to observe the
movement of the patrol officer
2. Mobile Patrol
Conducted through the use of land-based vehicles.
MOTORCYCLE PATROL
✓ Primarily used for conducting operations against motorcycle-riding
✓ criminals and those perpetrating street crimes.
✓ Used for traffic management and for security escort duties.
✓ High mobility of motorcycle patrols even in traffic congested areas makes them
effective in addressing crimes.
Two phases to consider In Managing Mobile Patrol

1. Administrative Aspect
A. Staff Supervisor - an inspector in charge of shift or platoon.
B. Disposition Officer- supervising deskman
C. Deskman - police officer assigned to receive phone calls from the public and
reports from the mobile patrol crews.
D.Dispatcher - police officer in charge of the radio control rooms that are
dispatching mobile patrol crew to the scene of assignments, transmitting and
receiving, recording radio message.
2. Operational Aspect
19 | JSF
City of Gapan
GAPAN CITY COLLEGE

A. Field Supervisor - one who supervises mobile crew in the field, for discipline
and performance.
B. two men complement uniformed patrolman in the radio car, one acting as the
driver and the other as the recorder.

automobiles.
✓ Areas not accessible by patrol cars or are too wide or foot patrol can be covered
by bicycle.
✓ Increased mobility and stealth since bicycle can be Fated quietly and without
attracting too much attention. In seattle, Washington, for example, bicycle officers
used bikes to whip around surprise drug dealers.
20 | JSF
City of Gapan
GAPAN CITY COLLEGE

✓ Found to be highly effective in combating theft, vandalism in residential areas,
parks, shopping malls, etc. the Seattle City's 20 bicycle officers have averaged
five times the number of arrests made by foot patrols in the downtown area.
✓ Effectively used by plainclothesmen for surveillance in high crime areas wherein
officers wearing clothes could blend with the apparels worn by criminals.
Disadvantages
the motorcycles, bicycle leave the patrol officer extremely vulnerable. Officers should
have the proper safety equipment and follow all basic safety practices while on bicycle
patrol
Automobile Patrol
Marked police car equipped with two way radio, blinkers and siren are used for covering
a wider area and carrying equipment and personnel. As often as practical, park and
lock his car and go out on the streets and meet people.

inclement weather.
Automobile Patrol (disadvantages)

areas than patrol cars. They are dangerous and there's little protection from gunfire with
them.
Advantage
21 | JSF
City of Gapan
GAPAN CITY COLLEGE

✓ High mobility especially in traffic -congested areas for anti-bank robbery missions
by police special units
✓ Maneuverability
Disadvantages of motorcycles include
❖ Relatively high cost to operate.
❖ Limited use in bad weather.
❖ Inability to carry large amount of equipment evidence or prisoners.
❖ The danger involved in riding them
AIRCRAFT PATROL (Fixed Wing or Helicopter)

Fixed-wing aircraft
Helicopter This is patrol by airplane or helicopter, and a surprising number of large
police departments have It (from 25 – 50). The trend is to make use their multifunction
capabilities; search & rescue, media, transport, surveillance, ground support, etc.
helicopters are common than airplanes by a two to one margin, mostly due to acquiring
surplus equipment from Defense Department, Aviation units are expensive to operate
as the fuel cost are astronomical.
Advantages of fixed – wing aircraft patrol (STS)
✓ Patrolling long stretches of highway.
✓ Excellent for traffic control in long stretches of highway
✓ Good for search and surveillance and other special mission
F: Canine / Dog Patrol

A police dog is a dog that is trained specifically to assist in police work, the police dog
and his handler together make up what is usually called a K-9 unit although the used of
police dog is broad they seem best suited in patrol work
Canine patrol extensions called wireless operational link and video exploration system
or WOLVES may also be used in K-9 operation, WOLVES is a system of attaching a
miniature camera and transmitter on top of search dog, which serves as the ears and
eyes of his handler in all situations, especially in life living saving missions
22 | JSF
City of Gapan
GAPAN CITY COLLEGE

Along with mainframes and microchips, the small - to – medium sized police
departments shopping for the latest in cost – effective high – tech law enforcement
might want to consider the four - legged, cold, nosed variety.
Egyptians are first people used K-9 for patrol purposes.
Used of Dogs or K-9’s Operations;
✓ Provide great assistance in search and rescue as well as in smelling out drugs
and bombs
✓ Provide protection for 1 officer patrol. Officer’s assigned to a high – crime area
have little to fear with a well-trained canine at their side.
✓ Great value in crowd control since properly trained dogs.
✓ Are virtually fearless and totally loyal to their handlers
✓ Have significant psychological effect on would- be – trouble makers
✓ Extensively used in international airports to detect narcotics and bombs because
their keen sense of smell. A dog is capable of recognizing an odor 10 million
times better than a human can
✓ Special trained dogs are extremely effective in finding bodies – dead or alive, just
buried years
✓ Locating trapped people during emergencies
✓ Can be an asset to public relations effort. Well trained police dogs can be used
for demonstrations in public affairs, schools or parades.
Disadvantages of using K-9’s;
❖ Most police dogs work with one only handler.
❖ K-9 like most dogs, is territorial, and its handler and its K-9 cruiser are part of its
territory
❖ Dog training is expensive. Dog training usually takes 10-12 weeks.
❖ Police department that initiates a K9 section is vulnerable to law suits.
❖ Dog handlers get involved in more violent confrontations on the street that any
other officer. They work more night shift than most members, do more callouts,
do more callouts from home spend literally hundreds of off- duty hours caring and
training with their K9 partners.
MARINE PATROL
It is sometimes known as the forgotten heroes. Extremely specialized and are not in
great used except in those areas with extensions coasts or a great deal of lake or river
traffic.
23 | JSF
City of Gapan
GAPAN CITY COLLEGE

Like aircraft, boats are expensive to buy, operate and maintain. Further, those who
operate them must have special training. None the less, boats are the best means to
effectively control violators of water safety regulations as well as to apprehend drugs
and gun smugglers. They are also valuable in rescue operations during times of
flooding as well as. In dragging operations for drowning cases.
MOUNTED (HORSE) PATROL

Next to walking, the horse patrol is one of the oldest type of patrol. Horse patrol are
useful in grassy fields and wooden areas or where terrain is steep and rough (Hees
2008)
Well suited for duty in public parks and crowd disorder situation
More expensive to maintain than police car. And you can’t carry a lot of equipment on a
horse or use it is at night.
CYBER PATROL
A dreamed future functions of police which every country should look into so as to cope
with the investigation of cybercrimes.
TELEVISON PATROL
TV/CCTV was first used in police work in West Germany for purpose of traffic
control. It involves the use of a TV panel with a Capacity of 30 TV
receivers, situated in front of a control board manned by operators, in the
field, TV cameras were mounted in weatherproof housing at key points.
DETECTIVE BEAT PATROL

The manila police district detective beat patrol is different from foot patrol in that
officers are usually in plain clothes rather than uniform, they are tasked in covert
operations follow up operations and, in the detection, and arrest wanted criminals, this
type of assignment is effective in investigation coverage of crime prone areas. It provides
extra coverage without alarming the occupants with an unusual number o policeman. The
detective beat patroller or secret is composed of different teams deployed in critical
districts, university/tourist belt area and shopping malls to arrest criminals victimizing

student and tourist in manila. Most of these plainclothes officers are familiar with the
modus operandi (MO) or pattern of crime committed in their areas particularly on
snatching, pick pocket, dugo dugo budol and other offenses committed in his jurisdiction.
The detective beat patrol’s ultimate concern is for crime solution rather than crime
prevention and is charged with total investigation responsibility among other objectives.
It means to enhance investigative efficiency and effectiveness particularly in the solution
terminating at the community level.
Patrol Strategies
Decoy Patrol
The principal tactics are blending and decoy, in which patrol personnel are
deployed in specific high crime areas in discreet disguises in an effort to blend into their
surroundings in the expectation of observing crimes in progress.
Aggressive Patrol
Emphasis is on positive, target-oriented activities by the patrol officer
e.g. highly selective but thorough physical security inspections conducted in a specific
geographic area
Effective if it is based on crime analysis which provides information concerning

identifiable crime trends and activities.
Aggressive patrol-maximize the number of police intervention and observation to
community
Team Policing
This is an attempt to decentralize the police organization in order to make it more
responsive to the localized needs and interests of neighborhood and community
groups.
Characteristics of team policing

• Geographical stability of the police force
• Maximum interaction of patrol force
• Maximum communication between the police units and members of the
community
