Directed patrol is a police-management strategy designed to increase the productivity of patrol officers through the scientific analysis and evaluation of patrol techniques
Comment on how ef-fective this strategy is and whether or not it actually works.
One form of directed patrol varies the number of officers involved in patrolling accord-ing to the time of day or the frequency of reported crimes within an area, so as to put the most officers on the street where and when crime is most prevalent. Wilmington, Delaware, was one of the first cities to make use of split-force patrol, in which only a part of the patrol force performs routine patrol. The remaining officers respond to calls for service, take reports, and conduct investigations.
