    Study Notes

    Community-Oriented Policing

    • Community-oriented policing encourages the community to work with law enforcement to address crime and other issues.
    • It has two main parts: community partnerships and problem solving.
    • Community partnerships increase understanding and trust between law enforcement agencies and their communities.
    • Community partners can include law enforcement representatives, government representatives, and community representatives.
    • Problem solving involves developing long-term, proactive programs to address community problems.

    Patrol Activities

    • Reactive patrol involves responding to or dealing with a crime after it occurs.
    • Proactive patrol discourages criminal activity by having an officer regularly present in the area.
    • Proactive patrol involves continuous travel through the patrol area, speaking to people, and establishing close ties with community members.

    Preparing to Patrol

    • Duty equipment inspection is vital to an officer's safety and effectiveness.
    • The equipment used while on patrol must be regularly checked to ensure it is working and stored safely.
    • Familiarity with the assigned patrol area is essential, including knowledge of major roads, landmarks, and community resources.
    • Identifying people in the area, such as neighborhood watches, business owners, and community leaders, is important.

    Patrol Methods

    • Patrol methods include motor vehicle, foot, and bicycle patrol, as well as specialized patrol methods such as marine, mounted, air, and all-terrain vehicle (ATV).
    • The choice of patrol method depends on the area being patrolled and the specific needs of the situation.

    Officer Safety and Survival

    • Safety is an important aspect of a law enforcement officer's job, and it is essential to constantly assess officer safety.
    • Staying alert and maintaining situational awareness is crucial to preserving public and officer safety.
    • Techniques such as using cover, maintaining a safe distance, and being aware of surroundings can help ensure officer safety.

    Responding to Calls

    • When responding to a call as the backup officer, it is essential to maintain officer safety and follow proper procedures.
    • Techniques such as running a search of the person in DAVID, asking for a Social Security number, and using a portable finger print scanner can help identify people who provide false information.
