This study introduces a new approach, the Need for Patrol Presence Score (NPPS), to guide the design of patrol beat borders and coverage areas.

Implementation of NPPS can enhance police response, workload distribution, and community safety, providing a valuable tool for police departments seeking efficient patrol beat structures.
