Although one-officer in lieu of two-officer patrols appear to have virtually no effect on crime, what might be some reasons that some police agencies choose to continue that practice?
What will be an ideal response?
The visibility of police cars is possibly a crime deterrent to some degree (at certain times), even though studies have failed to show any significant advantage of random visibility. However, visibility is likely to boost the confidence of citizens by the illusion of omnipresence. Although agencies give up the advantage of having a backup already on the scene, the response times improve with more cars dotting the city. This is because the dispatcher can send the closest unit and units are likely to be closer when there are more.
