According to the TTPS, “The Active Directed Grid Patrol System continues to work seamlessly
with already established protocols such as the issuance of All Points Bulletins when reports of crime are made. To date, it has yielded positive results with quick and timely responses, the apprehension of suspects and the provision of high police presence and visibility
as a deterrent to criminal activity.”
