Captain Patrick Joseph Thomas Beltran is a local boy, a product of Northeast Philadelphia. His father retired from the 8th Precinct, in fact, as a Lieutenant. His grandfather? Wasn't a cop. In fact, he was rumored to be one of the original K&A Gang burglars. But that's Northeast for you.

It was his idea to create the Dogwatch. Dogwatch is a controversial program, a precinct without a jurisdiction. A city spanning band of officers plucked from other precincts on a strictly volunteer basis willing and able to provide on call security for events, for bar close, for the winter market, and similar high profile engagements. He tends to be pretty picky, selecting officers less for their clean records and good conduct as for their ability to keep their mouths shut and follow orders. | It was his idea to create the Dogwatch.
