Editing Patrol Block (section)

== Structure ==
The Patrol Groups are broken into geographical areas called Patrol Blocks.<ref>I was keenly aware of Captain Marcial’s geographical position, as well.  She was in charge of the patrol block from New Haven. - [https://www.parahumans.net/2018/05/01/pitch-6-6/ Excerpt] from [[Pitch 6.6]]</ref><ref>The Patrol is a quasi-policeforce with an emphasis on handling the stuff around powers, with adult members filling in as a role akin to the PRT of old, and adult and junior members acting as volunteers.  A lot of their focus is around portals and the handling of events around other worlds.<br><br>While the 'cape police' thing sounds cool and draws a lot of kids into it from the high schools, it tends to involve grueling volunteer work with long stints of travel and time in harsher conditions, drills, and classes on parahuman science - Victoria's patrol group steps this up to weed out those who aren't in it for a reason.  A lot of the mundane duties are staffed with large groups of school-age kids, but only the senior students are going to be going out to do anything serious or serious-ish (as we see with Jester going out to help guard the refugees outside the Fallen camp)<br><br>The reason for the high school kids being put into this is... kind of split, depending on who's leading the group in question.  Some will say it's to give a kind of power and perspective to those who are angriest and having a hard time dealing with capes in a post-Gold Morning world.  Some would say it's for more combative or protective reasons, that the world with capes in it is dangerous, and kids need to know certain things to defend themselves or others. - Comment by Wildbow on [https://www.reddit.com/r/Parahumans/comments/bkzi1s/_/emkhz4d Reddit]</ref> Patrol Groups, groupings of Patrol Blocks, are lead by a Patrol Group Captain. Patrol Blocks are lead by a Patrol Block Captain. Each Patrol Block is made up of squads, and each squad is lead by a Squad Captain or a Junior Captain.<ref>“For those of you who’ve just joined us, my name is Victoria Dallon, and I’ll be your squad captain today.”- [https://www.parahumans.net/2017/09/11/daybreak-1-1/ Excerpt] from [[Daybreak 1.1]]</ref>
