Summary
"To understand what general duty police officers do while in their patrol cars, researchers conducted 441 full shift ride-alongs with 171 general duty members of the RCMP Surrey detachment in the summer of 2009 (Plecas et al., 2010). As part of this study, researchers recorded the amount of time that members were in their police vehicles, and what they were doing while driving or idling."--Page 1.
