Patrols are sometimes first on scene before EMS and can and have assisted in saving lives.

Officers are required to use body cameras for interactions with the public while on patrol. TASER Devices: Officers are equipped with a less than lethal electronic control device while on patrol. This provides another option when dealing with violent, or potentially violent individuals, before having to resort to the use of lethal force.

The purpose is to help prevent prescription drug diversion, a leading source of illicit prescription drug sales in the US.
