 | | Preventive patrol, or random patrol, as it is called in some localities, creates the illusion of significant police presence. |
 | | In describing the Kansas City Preventive Patrol Experiment, it is often helpful to draw the three areas on a flipchart, designate that (Area A, Area B, Area C) and show what was done in each. |
 | | If officers do not prevent a crime from occurring in the first place, if they are not called quickly enough to the scene, or if it takes too long to arrive to catch the offender, then a follow-up criminal investigation is initiated. |
