One- and Two-Officer Patrol Units: A Comparative Analysis.

Abstract

dc:description.abstract

The issue of the comparative advantages of one- and two-officer patrol units has been a subject of debate among police researchers for over 20 years. The objectives of patrol are to provide rapid response to calls for service, to promote police concern about a beat area, to create an atmosphere of security for the public, and to prevent crime. It is vital that these objectives be pursued, regardless of whether a city utilizes one- or two-officer patrol units.
