Directed patrol researchers often refer to saturation patrols, which occur when several police officers flood a certain area in an effort to catch criminals and deter would be offenders (Worrall, 2014). This is where officers will focus their patrols on certain problems or locations. People want to be safe. They want to see a focused alert and allow for officers to do their jobs. I want to see that my area is safe and if that means that people will be safer with police patrolling around. The way to do that is to find out where the areas of the worse crime are and focus the police presence there. Those places should be hit hard with police. They need someone watching their backs and see what they need to do and how many criminals they need to take off the streets.
