English term or phrase: emphasis patrols
Title of the document: Mayor Durkan , Chief Best Announce Additional Steps to Improve Public Safety in Communities Across Seattle

First paragraph: Ongoing Emphasis Patrols in Seven Neighborhoods Will Continue; City Has Begun Additional Regular Summer Emphasis Programs at Golden Gardens , Alki Beach , and Capitol Hill & Continues Operations to Combat Gun Violence in the Central District and Rainier Beach.

I am having trouble finding a correct translation for the term "emphasis patrols". Apparently, these patrols act more aggressively and actively to prevent and combat crime, but I could not find a proper translation into Spanish.

All your suggestions are welcome.

Police “emphasis patrols” are not new to police departments, nor to SPD. It’s a tool that they use when they see a spike in crime in a particular neighborhood, to increase the police presence to try to get the situation under control.

Reference information:
The idea behind an emphasis patrol is to saturate an area with law enforcement officers who are specifically looking out for signs of impairment in drivers, allowing other officers on shift to focus their attention in other areas of service.
