Officers on Patrol

  • Reference Number: 2406
  • Date released: 16 March 2010

Request

The issue I have chosen is the time police officers spend on patrol (High-visibility Policing) relative to time on paperwork, both incident and non-incident related. I would be grateful if you could provide me with an idea of the times spent by police officers on patrol or paperwork and/or examples of the paperwork Officers have to file and why this paperwork is necessary.
