Varying patrol routes and methods is essential to maintaining unpredictability and effectiveness in security operations. This approach helps to deter potential criminal activity, as individuals with malicious intent may become aware of a consistent routine and exploit it to their advantage. By changing routes and employing different methods, security personnel can enhance their observational capabilities and increase the likelihood of spotting unusual or suspicious behaviors that might otherwise go unnoticed if a predictable routine was followed.

In contrast, sticking to the same patrol route doesn't provide the element of surprise or deterrence needed to effectively safeguard an area. Limiting patrols to only daylight hours reduces coverage during nighttime, when many crimes occur. Remaining stationary and observing may allow for detailed observation of a specific area but lacks the proactive component of patrol techniques that can cover more ground and respond to various situations as they arise.
