What is a beat team?

  1. A group focusing on musical events for community engagement

  2. A team dedicated to beatboxing competitions

  3. Multiple officers within any one beat

  4. A task force for competitive sports

The correct answer is: Multiple officers within any one beat

A beat team is a group of police officers or security personnel assigned to a specific area within a larger district or jurisdiction, also known as a "beat." This term is commonly used in law enforcement and refers to the geographical area or community that is assigned to a group of officers for regular patrolling and crime prevention. The other options are incorrect as they do not pertain to law enforcement or the concept of a beat team. Option A focuses on musical events, option B focuses on beatboxing competitions, and option D mentions competitive sports, which are all unrelated to law enforcement. Only option C accurately describes the role and duties of a beat team.
