Which action is used to DETECT crime on patrol?

• A. Traffic checks
• B. Surveillance
• C. Stakeouts
• D. Radar

Answer: (B)

Detecting crime on patrol hinges on surveillance—actively watching the area and people for suspicious behavior, indicators of crime, or activities that suggest wrongdoing. This vigilant observation lets you notice a crime in progress or evolving situations early, so you can intervene or investigate promptly. Traffic checks focus mainly on enforcing traffic laws rather than spotting crimes, stakeouts are preplanned, longer-term operations away from routine patrolling, and radar is a tool for measuring vehicle speed, not the overall on-patrol detection activity.
