BEAT 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.

Beat Patrol is the lowest duty (other than meter maid or school liason) an officer can pull.  The purpose of this duty is to promote an active, personal police presence on the streets.  Beat cops perform their duties as pedestrians, patrolling their assigned areas on foot.  While usually this duty is reserved only for corporate or shopping disctricts, there are some neighborhoods which request it as well.  Little Italy, New Soho, and some of the smaller suburban neighborhoods have long standing contracts with the police department for Beat cops, who always travel in pairs.

Standard Uniform and Armor with optional additional plates and inserts
