Watchman Style

Explanation:

Watchman style can be described as one of the kinds of policing in which emphasis is imposed on maintaining order through informal methods. The focus of the watchman style is to resolve any dispute but it does not focus on preventing a dispute.

The same kind of policing was used by Officer Kealoha. She observed that the youth was indulging in a kind of bad activity but were not causing any dispute. Hence, she did not say anything to them.
