BASIC APPROACHES AND PROCEDURES FOR THE PATROL OFFICER WHO COMES ACROSS A SUSPICIOUS SITUATION OR WHO MUST PARTICIPATE IN A SEARCH AT THE SCENE OF AN ACTUAL OR SUSPECTED BURGLARY IN PROGRESS ARE OUTLINED IN THIS FILM.
Abstract
THE PATROL OFFICER MUST ALWAYS BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR SUSPICIOUS PERSONS OR SITUATIONS. IN THE EVENT OF A SUSPECTED BURGLARY IN PROGRESS, THE OFFICER SHOULD IMMEDIATELY CALL FOR REINFORCEMENTS AND AWAIT THEIR ARRIVAL BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO ENTER THE PREMISES. AN ARMED SEARCH TEAM SHOULD PRECEDE ANY OTHER OFFICERS INTO THE LOCATION. PROPER SEARCH STRATEGY IS DEPICTED AND DESCRIBED BY A NARRATOR: THE IMPORTANCE OF A THOROUGH, METHODICAL, QUIET, AND ALERT SEARCH IS EMPHASIZED. DIFFERENT OFFICERS SHOULD RETRACE THE STEPS OF THOSE WHO PRECEDED THEM, DOUBLECHECKING TO ENSURE THE NOTHING WAS OVERLOOKED. SEARCHES OF RESIDENCES AND LARGER BUILDINGS ARE COVERED. A REVIEW IS PROVIDED THROUGH TRUE AND FALSE QUESTIONS ON IMPORTANT POINTS TREATED IN THE FILM.
