PATROLLING IN REAL LIFE DOES NOT CALL FOR THE SINGLEHANDED HEROICS SO OFTEN DEPICTED ON TELEVISION. THE GOOD SECURITY OFFICER WILL ALWAYS TRY TO MINIMIZE RISKS, LEAVING GUNPLAY AND KUNG-FU FIGHTING TO THE POLICE. SEVERAL EPISODES ARE SHOWN THAT ILLUSTRATE CORRECT AND INCORRECT METHODS OF PATROLLING AND REPORTING. SOMETIMES THE BENEFITS OF GOOD REPORTING ARE NOT REAPED IMMEDIATELY. THE FILM SHOWS HOW ONE CONSCIENTIOUSLY PREPARED REPORT LED TO THE ARREST OF TWO THIEVES SIX MONTHS LATER. A DISCUSSION GUIDE IS INCLUDED. SEE ALSO NCJ-32868, 32869, 32870, 32872, 32873, AND 32874.
