How long is a piece of string?
How many in a patrol, how many patrols, and distance all depends on the available number of soldiers/militia and what transport they've got available. As a rule of thumb, soldiers on foot can manage about 5 kilometres per hour on average without moving too fast to miss anything.
Exact makeup, frequency, communications methods and just about anything else you can think of will vary from situation to situation, but the more patrols, the stronger they are, and the greater area covered the better the overall defence.
