Unpacking the police patrol shift: observations and complications of “electronically” riding along with police
As frontline responders, patrol officers exist at the core of policing. Little remains known, however, about the specific and nuanced work of contemporary patrol officers and their shift characteristics. Drawing upon computer-aided dispatch (CAD) data for a random sample of 60 patrol shifts, we empirically analyse the activities of patrol officers working in a Canadian police agency. Our analyses reveal several interesting findings regarding the activities of patrol officers, the nature and prevalence of calls for service attended by such officers, and the temporal patterns of different patrol shifts. We discuss our results with respect to both criminological research as well as policing practice. We also highlight the complications and implications of using electronic police records to empirically study officer activity.

Supt Robyn Williams, 57, was put on the sex offenders register after her sister sent her a video of a girl of five being abused. She could now win a six-figure payout in damages. The officer, who had enjoyed a glittering 36-year career, told the Old Bailey in 2019 that she did not ask for the 54-second video nor had she looked at it.
