Does the presence of an off-duty officer in an area affect how often the on-duty officers patrol there?
More often?
Less often?
Do they patrol?
I once reported a car break-in and asked the responding officer if someone could make extra patrols through the neighborhood because there had been several instances of similar happenings. He said everyone was so busy taking reports they didn't have time to patrol; they just drove from one crime report to another.
That was several years ago. Have things changed?
