Book excerpt: This textbook examines problems most frequently encountered by patrol officers, general principles for solution of these problems, and specific techniques proven effective in hazardous patrol incidents. An overview of the background, functions, and objectives of the patrol force is provided to delineate the scope of the individual officer's patrol function and the legal restraints placed on him. Other topics discussed include techniques of patrolling a beat, methods of observing, recording, and report police incidents, and preliminary investigative functions. Methods of making field contacts with pedestrians and handling police incidents involving vehicles are also suggested. In addition, a variety of non-emergency calls for service and tactics which have proved useful to officers in handling major crimes in progress are described in depth. A discussion of incidents involving hostages and survival techniques against attacks from ambush, firebombs, booby traps, and infernal devices is included, and unusual occurrences and some special problems of patrol are treated in detail. Review questions and practical problems for students to solve are included at the end of each chapter.
