Scenario: Officer Giveaticket is newly graduated from the Police Academy and has a real passion for her work. During her day shift, she likes to position her patrol car behind some oak trees near a shopping mall that has a stop sign positioned right before entry onto a side road. Officer Giveaticket enjoys pulling over every car that doesn't come to an absolute stop before proceeding onto the side road. During the evening shift, Officer Giveaticket responds properly to disturbances of the peace and domestics. She has a very business-like approach and prefers to arrest rather than "counsel" citizens about their actions. She is willing to testify at court and "let the judge sort it out." On the midnight shift, Officer Giveaticket patrols developments and conducts business checks while carefully looking for any open or unlocked doors that might lead to a crime in progress. What operational style of police work would she fall under? What are the advantages and disadvantages of her using this style?
