I was wondering what is everyone's patrol strategy when they play single player what jobs do you do more of radar, call outs, etc and what areas?

If I jump into the game as a Sheriff, I'll do more traffic stops and radar, basically in all over LC, using Braveheart call-outs from time to time.  If I'm playing as LCPD, I'll select an AO (Area of Operation) and pretty much patrol that area, which is generally a certain city/district area, unless a call-out takes me out of area, then I'll patrol that area until another call-out takes me elsewhere.

 

If I want to do bait-car, I'll jump into a unmarked, generally as a Detective, and work the bait car, possibly a little traffic, for that shift.  I'll not do call-outs for the most part when working the bait car.

 

I pretty much shut off LCPDFR call-outs, and just use Bravehearts call-outs.  Police Helper random events will keep you busy with or without the call-outs as well.

In single player I concentrate more on crime than anything else.There are plenty of cars to pullover for traffic infractions and they'll be there for another time. The crime callouts like drug deals, domestic violence and shootings are what I try to get a jump on. I consider different levels of force before arriving. If I'm enroute to a shooting I jump out of my and prepare my equipment or weapons for the specific callout. If I am going to a domestic violence call chances are I'll end up in close proximaty of the suspect giving me a chance to use a taser. it's a shooting I am armed with a lethal weapon of course. When I arrive at any call my first instinct is to look for what I can use for cover in the event a shootout takes place.
