It can be accomplished in several ways, but using uniformed patrol forces, it is most easily accomplished by 'saturating' the target area with uniformed officers and units and taking positive enforcement action on EVERY violation coming to their attention. There are, of course, other tactics some of which employ the use of 'casual clothes,' so-called 'tactical' units, which also flood an area and from the anonymity of their casual street dress, to suddenly, and surprisingly, appear and then take police action.

Summarize the five core operational strategies of law enforcement?

The five core operational strategies of modern law enforcement are: Preventive patrol, routine incident response, emergency response, criminal investigation, problem solving. Preventive patrol is the showing of police presence as a deterrent to criminal activity (on the basis that criminals will not commit crimes in the presence of the police). Routine incident response is the attendance of police at everyday events, likely to involve no malicious intent, such as minor traffic accidents. Emergency response, by corollary, is the attendance by police at events at which there is an immediate and credible threat to life or property, often involving malicious intent, such as shootings, bank robbery etc. Criminal investigation is the process by which a trail of facts relating to an existing crime is amassed, often leading to an arrest of a person suspected of committing the crime in question. Problem solving, also known as problem-oriented policing, is the process of police officers improving the relationship between authorities, citizens and communities. It can be used as a kind of unofficial mediation: A police officer on site can mitigate tensions between neighbours, for instance, not by preventive patrol, but by enabling rational discussion of tensions.
