Explain the ways in which patrol officers may be used to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of criminal investigations
What will be an ideal response?
• The patrol officer can provide immediate assistance to victims, locate witnesses, interview both victims and witnesses, and record information about the crime scene. They can initiate and complete investigation of certain classifications of crime, such as all misdemeanors, cases that involve property value up to $1,500, and auto larceny cases. The practical effect of this "sorting out" of responsibilities for different types of investigations is that patrol officers investigate high-volume crimes that can be investigated as effectively by patrol as by criminal investigators.
