patrolman's
Walking officer's possession
Patrolman's is the possessive form of patrolman, a police officer assigned to patrol a specific area.
The term refers to something belonging to or associated with such an officer: the patrolman's badge, the patrolman's beat, the patrolman's report.
The word patrolman itself has largely given way to gender-neutral alternatives like patrol officer.
