Draws on fieldwork in Barnet and Chelsea, two divisions of the
Metropolitan Police District. Examines the work of patrol
officers and assesses the amount of time that they have available
which could potentially be used for directed patrol tasks.
Various ways of managing time are discussed, as are possible
difficulties in implementing a rigid top-down system of
management. References.
