Constable Patrols in Heathlake
As part of our community service research (post dated November 3), we shared Heathlake was not receiving the number of patrols as expected, and was paying more per home than the average home participating in our co-op. In light of this, further investigation has been done, and we discovered the vast majority of our patrols are done during the day when crime is low. We found this significant since we cannot request patrols at specific times, (we attempted this when repeat disturbances were occurring on Friday and Saturday nights). The reasoning received was patrols are random and meant to keep criminals off guard, and there are not as many deputies on duty in at night in our co-op. The following is a chart displaying patrol activity over the past 245 days for Heathlake (March – October), total of 171 patrols.
