Do officers always radio when they show up somewhere? If a bunch of officers are showing up at a scene and there is a lot of talk on the radio over a situation that is developing quickly, will units arriving wait until later to report their arrival?

Asked by Job over 12 years ago

Yes, any time an officer arrives at the scene of a call, makes a traffic stop, rolls up on an undispatched incident, or does pretty much anything, he/she calls it in on the radio. It is a safety issue. Most patrol cars have GPS and are constantly tracked by dispatch also.

In your experience (or in general) if a patrol officer calls for one backup officer for assistance (not a serious emergency), will that person come from another patrol area or will more than one officer patrol one area at the same time? Thanks.

Asked by 456 over 12 years ago

In a smaller department, only one officer may be assigned to a specific area. In that case, the back up officer will come from another area. In medium or larger agencies, there may be two or more officers assigned to a specific area. In that case the backup officer will probably come from inside that area.
