At the end of each 12-hour patrol shift,  the Patrol Supervisor types a summary of the day's activity and sends a copy to all personnel in the police department.  This summary includes significant or noteworthy calls for police service,  noteworthy arrests, or other events relevent to the police department such as power outage,  flooded streets, car crash,  whether or not any special enforcement operations took place, etc...
