Every precinct is fortified with a community liaison unit, committed to understanding the pulse of the community. They gather feedback, mediate community disputes, and foster partnerships with local leaders, educators, and businesses. Through the lens of technological innovation, these units harness community surveillance systems, social media monitoring, and public feedback platforms, creating a two-way communication channel with the citizens they serve. For situations that require immediate intervention and rapid action, PSOs are supported by Emergency Response Squads, specialized in managing crises from large-scale accidents to public disturbances. There are specialized patrols designed for unique challenges, including neighborhood watch teams that focus on residential safety, school liaison officers ensuring educational institutions remain secure and harmonious, traffic management units overseeing road safety and compliance, and public events squads dedicated to the security of gatherings and festivals. Additional special patrols include maritime patrols, which are positioned in coastal cities or areas with significant waterways, and the mounted patrol which are particularly effective for crowd control during events as these officers, atop horses, offer an elevated vantage point and can quickly navigate dense urban environments.

The most common types of PSOs are in Traffic Control and Safety, which manages the flow of vehicles and pedestrians, ensuring road safety is upheld. Their responsibilities range from handling minor traffic violations to investigating major accidents. When accidents occur, these officers are often the first on the scene, providing immediate assistance, gathering evidence, and piecing together the events leading to the mishap. Traffic PSOs are also responsible for setting up strategic sobriety checkpoints and other deterrents.
