"Patrolled" Natural Recordings by Native Speakers
To move around an area, such as a city or a seaside resort, in a vehicle, typically a car or a beach buggy, in order to check that everything is in order and to prevent any problems from occurring, especially during a holiday or a public event.
To patrol means to go around an area, especially a town or a police area, in a regular or careful way to check that everything is safe and in order, or to stop and talk to people in order to find out what is happening. It can also refer to the organized action of going around a area, usually marked, in a predetermined way.
A patroller is a person or vehicle that patrols a particular area, usually to supervise, control, or monitor activities. For example, a police patroller might patrol the streets to ensure public safety, while a park ranger might patroller a national park to enforce rules and regulations.
