What is the main duty of a Patrol Officer?
Answer To circle through a particular area repeatedly to prevent problems.
Patrol officers are what they call an officer who is assigned to a particular area, or beat, to watch it for signs of trouble or crime. They may have the same beat for months or years and become familiar with the people they see often. They may flash their lights or turn on a siren now and again to warn people they see doing things they shouldn’t. They may also staff the local jails or enforce traffic rules and patrol public events.
