Patrol
When It Fits
Patrol fits when an area needs repeated field checks, visible presence, activity documentation, deterrence, or pattern observation over a scheduled period.
What It Can Include
Patrol can include route checks, property checks, parking-area checks, hotspot checks, date/time/location-stamped documentation, suspicious-activity notes, and coordination with authorized contacts.
How It Supports Dispatch
Patrol uses Dispatch hours for repeated physical checks. It does not replace police, fire, alarm-company, or emergency services.
Evidence And Next Steps
Patrol work usually matters when physical presence can document what happened, deter further problems, observe a location, or connect an incident to a clearer next step.
Useful documentation may include time, date, location, observations, photos, video, witness context, vehicle information, access-point details, and what happened before, during, and after the field work.
Dispatch is not a substitute for 911, police, fire, or medical services. If someone is in immediate danger, call 911 first and use Crime Fixer only when private field support is lawful and appropriate.
