Precinct Operations
The NYPD runs 24 hours per day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.

There are some changes made to ensure overlapping coverage. Police officers are always present on the street. For example, Anti-Crime and Highway Patrol units work different shifts, this way during tour change RMP’s are always patrolling.

Conclusion
The Commanding Officer of each precinct is the one who is ultimately responsible for what happens under his command. All matters must pass through him. The Police Commissioner holds the CO responsible through COMPSTAT which is a data collection device used to track crime throughout the city. The CO usually relies on his XO or Executive Officer usually at the rank of Captain.
