We ride one officer cars 90% of the time. Depending on the type of call 2 or more cars may be dispatched. Some types of calls the officers will pick a meeting location and then meet up and respond so they get there at the same time.

Depends on a lot of things, how "busy" the area is would be a big factor.

Ever since the term "partners" has taken on a different meaning, officers have been reluctant to ride together.

After we had two officers ambushed and murdered, one of which was an Arfcommer, DMPD was having patrols ride around 2 to a car for a little bit. Last I saw, they were back to 1 officer to a car.

I don't know of any small to medium sized departments that do that. I would imagine some major cities roll two man cars, at least in certain areas.

It cover more area to have single person cruisers.
The usual thing is to respond two cars at a time. |

Dept I work for is all 2-man cars. Jurisdiction where I live is 98% of the time solo, but a minimum of 2 cars on all jobs.
State does solo cars until midnight (or about then) and then rides two to a car until a certain hour. |

There are 18,000 law enforcement agencies in the United States. Each does something different.

Quoted:
I notice that in my town, which is a suburb of Philadelphia, I never see police cruisers with two officers in them. Did the "partners" thing go away, or is that more prevalent in the big cities? Or, are there still partners, but they each have their own cruiser and only join up when necessary? Just curious, thanks. |

I worked midnights in the ghetto alone for many years.
Between not knowing what they were doing, not wanting to "do" anything, and whining about my cigars? I got tired of working with anyone. |

I'm not in the police, but from my terse understanding, they try to pair serious, by-the-book officers with wisecracking and free spirited officers who don't play by anyone's rules.

No,not here in Palm Beach County. They have zone partners, but that is close as they get.

All gay joke aside....
Even in cases where they don't double up in the cruisers, at least not regularly, is each officer still assigned a partner for other purposes? |

Here we have precincts. In each precinct we have wards. Each ward is assigned two 1 man cars that answer calls together, but outside of answering calls they can go about patrolling their wards or neighboring wards. Traffic stops, self initiated activity your assigned "ward partner" should pull down with you. They thing is we have 3 people assigned to a ward with rotating days off. So what really happens is 2 buddies that work the same days finagle their way into neighboring wards and do everything together. As in "disregard car xx1's ward partner, I am handling this call with him", and "show myself and car xx1 have a car pulled over". It is so prevalent that the dispatchers end up knowing who is friends with each other all over the city. So on paper (or dispatch computer screen) they have an official partner, but in real life they have a real partner they trust everything to.
