The purpose of patrol is to?

  1. Ignore all activities

  2. Focus only on specific tasks

  3. Observe your surroundings for changes or unusual activity

  4. Stay in one place

The correct answer is: Observe your surroundings for changes or unusual activity

Patrols serve the purpose of keeping a watchful eye over an area and its activities. Option A is incorrect because patrols are meant to be proactive, not ignore situations or potential threats. Option B is incorrect because while patrols often have specific tasks or assignments, they are also expected to be aware of any changes or activity outside of their designated tasks. Option D is incorrect because staying in one place would not allow for proper observation of the surroundings. Option C is the best choice because it encompasses the main purpose of patrols - to observe and detect any unusual or concerning activity.
