Debriefing
means a specific activity designed to address an identified concern within the community. Directed patrols
are activities detailed to officers in order to have specific measurable tasks carried out. This form of patrol may be enforcement–based but may also be focused on achieving a goal by other means. Directed patrol can be an effective
component in the maintenance of public order and improving the quality of life for the community.
Directed Patrol

part of community policing that does not specifically focus on or target an identified concern within the community, but
permits officers to accomplish their general policing duties in a non–focused manner.
General Patrol

strategies are developed to eliminate or bring the issues under control.
Problem Oriented Policing

anti–social activity, permitting local community members to go about their daily activities with minimal fear or disruption.
Quality of Life

officer, without previous direction from a supervisor. The area of the self–initiated patrol may be based on trends derived
