Foot Patrol Steps
-Bring your radio, notebook, pen, and any other equipment you would
normally carry. The purpose of patrol is to look for signs of trouble; you
want to be as prepared as possible in case you find what you are looking
for.
-Walk confidently about the property or premises. Be professional as
others are watching you. Engage in exchanging quick bits of conversation
(e.g., say hello in return if someone greets you) or answering simple
questions (e.g., if someone asks where it is okay to park) but do not
become engrossed in lengthy conversations. First of all, you are paid to
be protecting persons and property as directed by your employer and
second, an ongoing conversation could serve as a distraction to keep you
from noticing other activity taking place.

-Follow a consistent route through or around the premises; you should
make a routine to ensure you have covered all areas you are responsible
for. Be careful, however, not to become so familiar with your route that
you stop looking closely enough to notice when things are amiss.
-Check doors and windows as you walk by; if they should normally be
locked, ensure they are with each pass of the location.
-Look for signs that something is amiss. People involved in odd behaviour
are worth a second glance (e.g., an individual trying to open car doors,
moving from one vehicle to the next). Objects or items which appear out
of place should be investigated. Use your senses to let you know when
something is "not quite right."
-In conditions of poor lighting, shine your light into the room or space
before entering so that you may see what is there (or not there); it is easy
for somebody to hide in the dark and take you by surprise.
-Record anything unusual in your notebook.
Contact the police if you find evidence suggesting a criminal act has
taken place.
