Patrolling subdivisions

We had a gated community that did not want us inside of its gates. They kept changing the access code on us. They only wanted us there if we were called.

I imagine a lot of subdivisions are like that. Its also possible that the subdivision is unincorporated and the Sheriff's Department Patrols it and as a result, you don't see regular patrols like you do with a municipal department.

Because I can't edit my post, also access=enforcement and many times people don't want enforcement, especially on themselves. They want enforcement on everyone else.

We go in all neighborhoods/subdivisions. They cannot deny entry, and must leave room to get around the gates in case of emergency.

There's a gated community on my mates DIV'N that borders London & Kent that constantly tries to deny entry to the PO PO. One guard even thought it would be a good idea to call the house he thought they were going to search on a drugs warrant. He now inside an 8x8 for obstruction of police.

We are usually busy enough that we don't have a lot of time to hit the housing areas but it is a good idea for the public to see us there whenever we can. I usually drive about 50 miles during an 8 hr shift. ( 80 square mile patrol area)

Patrolling subdivisions is one of things I do a lot of. Its one of the many primary functions of a reserve unit, we patrol and do things that the full time units don't have time to do. You would be surprised at how much we can find doing this, B&E's, domestics, stolen/recovered cars, tons of traffic, etc.

I like to roll down the windows and cruise, listen and see things happening.

I spent most of my time patrolling problem areas. If a subdivision was having problems we made it a point to be there. If they did not need us we stayed where we were needed.

Some of the areas in my city are pretty dangerous to go into solo. We usually won't go in without more than one officer. We can drive around the outside and see what's going on inside. If we need to go in, we'll call for a couple more units and go in with numbers.

I tend to give heaviest patrol where the trouble is. I drive the subdivisions with my alley lights on to see and let folks know I am there. But just like lions hunt by the water hole, you have to go hunt where the crime is happening.

We hit them all...but we work in pairs 100% of the time.

I hit all my areas as long as I am not running calls.

But I agree hunting in them is not usually productive you have to go to the ****ty areas...
