SERIES OF TRAINING BULLETINS DESIGNED TO FACILITATE THE SHIFT FROM A TWO-MAN SYSTEM OF AUTOMOBILE PATROL TO A ONE-MAN SYSTEM.
Abstract
IN A CITY WITH A LOW POPULATION DENSITY COVERING A LARGE GEOGRAPHICAL AREA, THE ONE-MAN PATROL SYSTEM CAN OFFER MORE SERVICE WITH THE SAME NUMBER OF MEN THAN CAN BE OFFERED BY THE TWO-MAN PATROL. EXTRA PRECAUTIONS, HOWEVER, ARE REQUIRED FOR MEN WORKING ONE-MAN PATROLS. THESE TRAINING BULLETINS DISCUSS PATROL TECHNIQUES AND PROCEDURES DESIGNED TO PROVIDE MAXIMUM PROTECTION FOR THE ONE-MAN PATROL. THE TOPICS COVER INVESTIGATION AND ARREST, OVERTAKING AND STOPPING AUTOMOBILES, APPROACHING A STOPPED AUTOMOBILE, OVERTAKING AND STOPPING FELONY SUSPECTS, AND HIGH-SPEED PURSUIT. (AUTHOR ABSTRACT).
