PATROL

Standard uniformed
officers of the NCPD, including Traffic,
beat, and Patrol officers wear blue Jumpsuits with white armor vests
and helmets, this helps differentiate them from the specialized Units
belonging to SWAT and C-SWAT.
Patrol is the standard police uniformed duty, and offers the most
obvious and visible representation of police presence. Patrol
duty makes up the largest portion of any given police force, and they
are the catch all of law enforcement, from first response, to giving
out speeding tickets, to armed
backup, these brave men and women put their lives on the line daily to
help keep our streets safe and secure. They are the first line of
defense against the crime threatening to engulf the city in
chaos. The
Night City Police Department patrols its own highways for up to 20
miles outside the city limits.
Patrol officers generally operate alone or in pairs.
