foot patrols
Cops walking neighborhoods
Foot patrols are police officers or security personnel who patrol an area on foot rather than in vehicles.
The practice emphasizes visibility and community interaction: The neighborhood requested more foot patrols after the break-ins.
Military units also conduct foot patrols for reconnaissance or security in areas inaccessible to vehicles.
