(A) In order to provide assurances, to the extent reasonably possible, for the uninterrupted safety and security of the citizens of the city, the Police Department shall restrict all patrol and response to complaints or calls for assistance from the public to areas contained within the corporate limits of the city. This section shall not prohibit the exercise of ordinary detective or investigatory obligations by a member of the Police Department concerning an alleged crime occurring within the city limits of the city.
