Abstract
To the uninitiated, going door-to-door seeking information about a crime, sitting in a police car for an extended period observing a location to monitor a suspect’s activity, or patrolling the roads of a rural community in the middle of the night may not appear to be the most exhilarating or motivating tasks a patrol officer performs. In fact, each of these functions is essential to the protection and safety of communities and the successful provision of police service.
